What happened
The Chinese Communist Party's Taiwan Affairs Office imposed a new sanction on VWAY Co, a company owned by Puma Shen’s father. The Mainland Affairs Council stated that this action follows a pattern of using sanctions during Taiwanese elections to exert economic pressure on society. VWAY Co had previously been earning money in China even after a related company, Sicuens International Co, was sanctioned last year.

Why it matters
The Mainland Affairs Council views the sanctions as an attempt by the Chinese Communist Party to interfere with Taiwan’s democratic elections and coerce Taiwanese society. The council stated that the Chinese Communist Party collaborates with media to manipulate public opinion and exert economic pressure during election periods.
