Taiwan agency links impersonation threats to possible Chinese transnational repression

At a regular briefing in Taipei, the Mainland Affairs Council disclosed that multiple threats have been delivered by persons impersonating Kuan Chien-chung, the distributor of the documentary State Organs. The first known incident occurred in November 2025, when a threat demanding money was sent to a lawyer using Kuan's phone number, prompting police to question Kuan. Subsequent incidents involved the Kuma Academy, a Taiwan-based civil-defence organization, and a September threat to the Taiwan Falun Dafa Association, both allegedly made by callers claiming to be Kuan.

Liang Wen-chieh said the pattern suggests a systematic effort rather than isolated impersonation, provisionally classifying it as transnational repression possibly linked to Chinese authorities. The council will work with the National Police Agency and the Ministry of Justice as investigations continue, while the perpetrators remain unidentified.
