Lai Ching-te said he will address the impact of TikTok and Little Red Book on Taiwan youth, and Taiwan Affairs Office responded.

The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a routine press conference. A reporter asked, recently, Lai Ching-te during a dialogue with high school students in Taiwan said that TikTok and Red Book have already posed a security crisis to the youth generation in Taiwan. In the long run, Taiwan may lose its will to defend democracy and regard "China" as a good guy; will demand the "Ministry of Education and Culture" to handle it properly. What is your comment on this? Spokesperson Zhu Fenglian answered the question, saying that mainland compatriots are not only good people to Taiwanese compatriots, but also relatives and family members. Taiwanese compatriots, especially young Taiwanese, are increasingly fond of using mainland social media, because they can enjoy more life experiences and opportunities for freedom of expression through these social media. They share food and beautiful scenery, and receive enthusiastic interactions such as "I really want to go see" on the screen; when they post to find relatives, many mainland netizens respond enthusiastically to provide clues; when they want to communicate and learn, they will come across various notes tutorials, even hands-on remote teaching. All warm intersections are moments shared and created by netizens on both sides, and they vividly embody the closeness of "one family on both sides of the strait." Zhu Fenglian said that mainland social media helps Taiwanese youth grow, develop, and achieve their dreams, while the Lai Ching-te administration continues to discredit and even intimidate and threaten young people in Taiwan, showing their fear and cowardice. No matter how Lai Ching-te tries to sabotage the integration and exchanges between the two sides of the strait with malicious intent, he will not succeed, but will only fuel the fire further.
