While the move was mostly symbolic, as Beijing does not have jurisdiction over Taiwan — which has its own government, borders, military and courts — it could discourage Taiwanese citizens from travelling to China, as well as make travel to other countries riskier. “This announcement has a threefold purpose: they aim to explain domestically how they are countering ‘Taiwan independence’, they aim to declare internationally their claimed jurisdiction over Taiwan and they aim to deter Taiwanese,” said Chang Wu-yueh, an expert on cross-Strait relations at Tamkang University in Taipei.
