Chinese Envoy Doubles Down on Taiwan ‘Reeducation’ Threat, Says Population ‘Intoxicated’

Ahigh-profile Chinese ambassador has doubled down on his controversial vow that China would carry out a “reeducation” of the Taiwanese population — presumably to follow an invasion of the island democracy — echoing Beijing’s language surrounding its genocide of Uyghurs in Xinjiang and Hong Kong crackdown.

China’s ambassador to France, Lu Shaye, reaffirmed that intention in a second explosive television interview with a French broadcaster. Speaking to LCI on Friday, he lamented that there is no widespread support in Taiwan for accepting the Chinese Communist Party’s rule owing to what he called “anti-Chinese propaganda” from the Taiwanese authorities.
