History

edit

The ACFTC was established on 22 December 1981 in Beijing.[2]

Starting in 2017, the ACFTC took on a more prominent role in the CCP's united front efforts directed at Taiwan.[3]

During the run-up to the 2024 Taiwanese presidential election, the ACFTC coordinated editorial attacks against presidential candidate Lai Ching-te, framing him as "pro-war".[4]

In 2024, Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council banned its citizens from working at the ACFTC due to national security concerns.[5][6]
