The Taiwan Affairs Office responds to the Democratic Progressive Party authorities' unreasonable obstruction of cross-strait religious and cultural exchanges.

On the morning of April 30th, the Taiwan Affairs Office held a routine press conference. Journalist: It has been reported that the internal affairs department in Taiwan recently launched a "special area for information disclosure for religious and other groups to visit the mainland", requiring religious and social groups to fill out information such as date, location, and purpose of their visit to the mainland, and disclose it publicly. What are your comments on this? Spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office Zhu Fenglian: This is an evil act of the Democratic Progressive Party authorities in obstructing normal religious and cultural exchanges between the two sides of the strait. It is another trick of the DPP in promoting "green terror" and creating a "cicada effect." It is a rough deprivation of the basic rights and freedoms of temples and believers on the island. Such despicable tricks cannot suppress the desire of compatriots on both sides of the strait to get closer, nor can it block the trend of cross-strait exchanges and integration, and will surely fail under the common opposition of compatriots on both sides of the strait.
