At the January 14 press conference of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, a reporter asked: The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities have recently passed four draft amendments related to security as well as revisions to the “Act Governing Relations Between the People of the Taiwan Area and the Mainland Area.” Public opinion on the island has pointed out that these are concrete steps to push forward Lai Ching-te’s so-called “17 strategies,” aimed at further restricting cross-Strait exchanges. Behind this is the DPP authorities’ political calculation to achieve “martial law on speech” and “martial law on the internet.” What is your comment?
TAO spokesperson Zhu Fenglian responded that Lai Ching-te’s so-called “17 strategies” completely go against the mainstream public opinion in Taiwan that wants peace, development, exchange, and cooperation, and fully prove that he is a “destroyer of cross-Strait peace” and a “maker of Taiwan Strait crises.”
She said that the DPP authorities’ recent actions have sinister intentions and seek to open the door wide for further creating “green terror,” plotting “Taiwan independence authoritarianism,” and undermining cross-Strait exchanges and cooperation. These reprehensible actions that are anti-peace, anti-exchange, anti-democracy, and anti-humanity will inevitably be opposed and are doomed to fail.
