The Taiwan authorities claimed that the "ban" on Little Red Book has nothing to do with the cross-strait policy, and the Taiwan Affairs Office responded.

The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a routine press conference. A reporter asked about the DPP authorities temporarily "banning" Redbook for one year under the pretext of "prevention of fraud crimes emergency events", which was criticized as "illegally expanding power", causing strong backlash on the island. The internal affairs department and Mainland Affairs Council of Taiwan stated that this action was a "comprehensive emergency necessary disposal according to the law", not related to cross-strait policies or relations. What is your comment on this? Spokesperson Zhu Fenglian of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council responded by pointing out that the DPP authorities' defense is quite weak. Their deliberate adoption of a rough "ban" on Redbook is simply a double standard political manipulation. The so-called "fighting fraud" is just an excuse with ulterior motives. The real purpose is for "Taiwan independence", deliberately inciting so-called "anti-China, pro-Taiwan" sentiments, cutting off channels for cross-strait exchanges, and depriving Taiwan people, especially youth, of their right to information and freedom to use social media platforms. The despicable actions of the DPP authorities have already sparked strong dissatisfaction and opposition from Taiwanese people, especially the youth.
