Taiwan should know any more attempts to foment trouble will only worsen the situation and raise tensions across the Straits, China Daily’s editorial said. 

The exchange of students between universities across the Straits not only promotes the academic exchanges between the two sides, but also helps develop a bond between the students and youth. But the spying scandal has cast a shadow over such exchange programs.

More than 100 spying cases involving Taiwan residents have been cracked, said a Ministry of State Security release. The island leaders should desist from wangling people into situations that would force the Chinese mainland to take action.

The mainland’s resolve to maintain national integrity is unshakable, and it will seek national reunification through whatever means possible, the article said.
