TAIPEI - Taiwan’s ruling party on Wednesday urged citizens to avoid visiting Hong Kong after a person from Taiwan was detained in China on state security charges, as Hong Kong’s protests add to already tense relations between Taiwan and Beijing.

China said Lee Meng-chu, an adviser from a small township in Taiwan, who had been missing since Aug. 19 after traveling to the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, was suspected of “engaging in criminal acts that endanger state security”. “The Democratic Progressive Party urges citizens to avoid visiting Hong Kong and China due to tough internal situations,” Taiwan’s ruling party said in a statement.“If you have to visit these areas, you must pay serious attention to safety and report whereabouts to your families and friends at all times,” the party said.

China claims self-ruled Taiwan as its own and has vowed to bring the island under its control, by force if necessary.

chinazi next step- Taiwan. Hong Kong was officially corrupted and fallen. Not safe for any Taiwanese and foreign businessmen and political figures.

Hongkong is no more a safe city. It becomes a PoliceState and HKPolice are above the law.

Any Taiwanese still doing business in China really needs to rethink the risks they are taking! MOFA_Taiwan

this is ridiculous

HongKong become not safe city for Taiwanese tourist especially who want transfer to mainland China.

All Western countries need to take a hard look at why they still do business with the biggest terrorist organization in the world. chinazi

EDITOR: Lee Meng Chu and Lee Ming Che are two completely different people. This article is really sloppy journalism.

And a lot more countries are going to warn their citizens and businesses away from Hong Kong too.

China miss nothing

U.S. must challenge China over Hong Kong, James Mattis says: 'We have to stand with them'Tens of thousands of protesters descended on the U.S. consulate in Hong Kong on Sunday, calling on the Trump administration to lend more support. The British gave control of Hong Kong back to China and that is that its their problem not ours we are not the worlds police. How? They are part of Communist China. It's not like we can arm them like we do Taiwan. They want what we got. They don't want a caravan like all the spineless loosers we have streaming into this country. Before I would get fuked out of MY country I would fight too. I feel sorry for the police there too.

Hong Kong Is Unique—China Needs It to Stay That WayHong Kong’s “one country, two systems” has always been viewed with deep ambivalence in the ultra-capitalist city and Beijing alike, but maintaining the arrangement is paramount to the success of both. AaronBack The economists have spoken People's freedom and democracy are not as important. AaronBack Americans need to pay attention to what happens here. I am surprised MSM is allowed there to report on it. You don’t see any Media on how many are suffering in Saigon or Red China!! That’s because the only media is what the GVT says and if you protest they throw you in Jail! AaronBack HongKong is irreplaceable also because of its culture and people. Just look at the innovative idea that keep coming out to stand against tyranny. I hope we can secure our values against the pressure from Beijing.
