Isn't this basically what every lib wants us doing with 1/6 insurrectionists?

    The headline implies life in prison, but;

    China will enforce punishment on the people on the list, by not letting them enter the mainland and China's Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau, said spokeswoman Zhu Fenglian in a statement on Friday.

    The blacklisted people will not be allowed to cooperate with entities or people from the mainland, nor will their companies or entities who fund them be allowed to profit from the mainland, she said.

    flat out propaganda when most people won't read past the headline

    I'd like to see an independent translation of the original statement, anyway I'm an anarchist no borders dude but to pretend this is worse than states like the UK banning people with certain ideologies(Wahhabism , neo-Nazism) from entering the country is stupid

      Supporters of Taiwan independence will be liable for life, says China

      This isn't technically "wrong" in the sense that they will be liable for life, just not in prison. Your liability is being banned from working with Chinese companies or entering the mainland etc. Typical propaganda wording that makes it much more nefarious sounding than it is.

            The most irritating roadblock, western libs who claim to hate all states tend to have blindness about the wests imperial policy. They hate all states, but because they were raised in propaganda, they can't see their own state as anything more than neutral while all the official enemies are "bad states"

    It's just normal sanctioning. Not allowed to enter the country and won't do business with companies that work with them. The US does this constantly.

    So let's recap. Taiwan for better or worse has been a part of China since what, the Qing dynasty in the 1500s? And then was taken by Japanese imperialists from the late 1800s to 1945. Then the runaway nationalists take it. Cool, just checking in. Anyway, who's in charge of the rest of pre-imperialist china?
