China News Service, November 25. The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference on the 25th. Spokesperson Zhu Fenglian said that the DPP authorities threatened to deal with the mainland media, which we strongly condemn.
The DPP authorities should stop unreasonably making things difficult for mainland media and reporters stationed in Taiwan, and resume normal rotation of mainland reporters stationed in Taiwan as soon as possible to protect their legitimate rights and interests.
A reporter asked a question. The relevant department of Taiwan rejected the Zhongtian News Channel's license replacement case, which aroused strong criticism and doubts from all walks of life on the island. What's your comment?
In addition, the Mainland Affairs Council of Taiwan also recently announced that mainland media stationed in Taiwan is prohibited from renting and using studios to record and produce talk shows in Taiwan. Violators will be punished. What is the spokesperson’s comment on this?
Zhu Fenglian stated that he has noticed that the relevant Taiwan authorities' review of the Zhongtian News Channel's "renewal" case has aroused widespread doubts and strong criticisms from all walks of life in Taiwan.
As pointed out by Taiwanese public opinion, the DPP authorities used political means to suppress dissidents, and the relevant departments performed the so-called "political tasks" completely in accordance with the script.
Zhu Fenglian said that the media on both sides of the strait is a bridge and link to enhance mutual understanding of compatriots on both sides of the strait. Under the current impact of the new crown epidemic, it is even more necessary for the media to play a role in communicating across the strait.
We have always supported media exchanges and cooperation across the Taiwan Strait, combined with the need for normalization of epidemic prevention and control, and effectively safeguarded the rights and interests of Taiwanese media and reporters in interviews on the mainland, and provided corresponding services and guarantees.
The DPP authorities have made excuses to engage in "double standards" and continue to obstruct the restrictions on the rotation of mainland media reporters in Taiwan. Most mainland reporters in Taiwan have been working continuously for nearly one year. Cause serious distress.
This approach is extremely irresponsible and extremely inhumane.
Now the DPP authorities are threatening to deal with the media stationed on the mainland, which we strongly condemn.
Zhu Fenglian emphasized that the DPP authorities should stop unreasonably making trouble for the mainland media and reporters stationed in Taiwan, and resume the normal rotation of mainland reporters stationed in Taiwan as soon as possible to protect their legitimate rights and interests.
