Taiwan’s top ambassador in New York, James Lee, condemned as “uncivilized” the Chinese government’s threat to implement a “reeducation” campaign in Taiwan — which would occur, presumably, after a theoretical invasion of the island country.

The threat to “reeducate” the Taiwanese population came amid Beijing’s stepped-up military intimidation campaign in the Taiwan Strait.
