The Taiwan Affairs Office responds to the challenge of the Democratic Progressive Party authorities to the Olympic model.
On the morning of July 30th, the Taiwan Affairs Office held its regular press conference. Reporter: The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities recently claimed that during the World University Games in Germany, mainland China's delegation staff repeatedly pressured the organizers and disrupted activities related to the Taiwan delegation, "escalating the situation to an Olympic level." What is your comment on this? Spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office, Chen Binhua: Regarding the issue you mentioned, the Chinese Student Sports Federation clarified the situation on July 24th, stating the facts. The "Olympic model" is the internationally recognized standard for handling Taiwan-related issues in the sports world, and it is a principle that sports professionals on both sides of the Taiwan Strait adhere to. It provides a foundational guarantee for promoting exchanges and cooperation in sports between the two sides and facilitating the participation of athletes from both sides in international sports events. The DPP authorities keep spreading rumors and causing trouble, challenging the "Olympic model" with the aim of using sports to promote "independence." People from all walks of life in Taiwan, including those in the sports world, should distinguish right from wrong, recognize the harmful intentions of "Taiwan independence," and not dance to its tune.
