2014年CRI 北京APEC将启动亚太自贸区进程 台湾间谍拉拢策反在台大陆学生

 

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi says the process of launching the Asia-Pacific Free Trade Area is expected to start during the upcoming APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting in Beijing.

The top Chinese diplomat¹ says the FTA will help to integrate regional bilateral² and multilateral cooperation mechanisms³ and reduce the risk of overlap⁴ and fragmentation.

Wang Yi also adds the Chinese and Canadian sides are still consulting about the possibility of Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper's attendance at the APEC meetings.

Harper has reportedly canceled plans to attend the meeting, citing last week's attack on the country's parliament.

Authorities on the mainland are expressing concerns about a new report suggesting young people from the mainland are being recruited as spies in Taiwan.

A Beijing-based newspaper has reported this week that intelligence agents in Taiwan have been approaching mainland students studying on the island in an attempt to garner⁵ information from them and train them to be spies.

Authorities on Taiwan have not commented on the report.

The mainland's Taiwan affairs office says any attempt to try to recruit mainland students compromises their safety and undermines cross-strait educational exchanges.
