The Taiwanese Ministry of Culture stated that artists cannot make "unification by force" remarks, China's Taiwan Affairs Office: threats and intimidation are completely unacceptable.

The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a routine press conference. A reporter asked about Taiwanese entertainers being labeled as "pro-China artists" for expressing their identity. The head of the Taiwan cultural department said that they are happy to see Taiwanese artists developing in mainland China, but they cannot support any statements advocating for "reunification by force." We have noticed that in recent years, many Taiwanese artists have come to mainland China for development, and the diverse cultural performances in mainland China have also attracted many young Taiwanese to come across the strait to follow their stars and take photos. What is your comment on this? The spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office, Zhu Fenglian, responded that the DPP authorities' use of so-called "investigations" to threaten and intimidate Taiwanese entertainers is completely unpopular and cannot stop the trend of Taiwanese people participating in cross-strait exchanges and sharing opportunities for development in mainland China. She said, we actively support cultural exchanges and cooperation in various fields between the two sides, and welcome Taiwanese entertainers to come to mainland China to participate in various cultural performances, as well as welcome Taiwanese compatriots to take advantage of the increasingly convenient policies to come to mainland China at any time to watch various cultural performances and experience the wonderful cultural and tourism life in mainland China.
