00:00Taiwan has issued new rules for civil servants who travel to China.
00:04The Mainland Affairs Council, which handles relations with China,
00:07announced the rule changes on Thursday.
00:10Anyone who works at a cabinet-level agency and travels to Hong Kong or Macau
00:13will have to register their plans, regardless of why they're going.
00:18They will also have to say if they plan to meet with people who hold a certain rank or position.
00:23This new system takes effect today, but there will be a grace period of about one year.
00:30If you don't agree or don't agree with the rules, we won't do a crime.
00:36Until next month, if there are still people who don't agree with the rules, we will continue to do a crime.
00:46These new rules come at a time when tensions between Taiwan and China are high.
00:51The new rules are part of efforts to stop sensitive information being leaked to Beijing.
