The Taiwan Affairs Office responded to the Taiwan authorities deleting the Han people's comments: it is absolutely ridiculous and extremely laughable.

At the routine press conference held by the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council on the 14th, a journalist asked: Recently, the Taiwan administrative agency's website introduced the population situation in Taiwan, deleting the term "Han people" and replacing it with "other population". Public opinion on the island criticized this as a further "de-Chinesization" and "de-ancestralization" by the current administration of Lai Ching-te. What are your comments on this? Spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office, Chen Binhua, said that this practice is absurd and ridiculous. Those in the Democratic Progressive Party administration who do these things, especially those who belong to the so-called "other population", do not know how to face their ancestors and ancestors?! People on both sides of the strait share the same bloodline, culture, and history, belong to the Chinese nation and are descendants of the Yan and Huang emperors, all Chinese people, this is an objective fact that cannot be changed by anyone. The Democratic Progressive Party administration, out of their nature of seeking "independence" and political selfishness, resort to all kinds of tricks to manipulate "de-Chinesization", cutting off the historical and cultural ties between the two sides of the strait, which is not welcomed by the people and will not succeed, but will be scorned.
