China said Taiwanese workers in the mainland have nothing to fear if they "don't break the law."
The comment comes as Beijing sparked alarm in June by floating the death penalty for 'diehard' separatists.
About 163,000 Taiwanese worked in the mainland in 2021, per a local report, and the number is declining.
The comment comes as Beijing issued legal guidelines on June 21 suggesting the death penalty or prison for "Taiwan independence diehards."
The declaration sparked alarm in Taiwan, where officials started restricting tours to China and warning people against traveling to the mainland.
