Reference News Network, August 13 report (Text by Hong Muxuan) At the regular press conference of the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office held on August 13, a media representative asked, saying that some local Taiwanese media reported that in recent years, the mainland has been actively using social platforms to gradually "brainwash" the younger generation in Taiwan. The online claim that "the most pro-China age group in Taiwan is 20 to 24 years old" has sparked discussion. "Taiwan independence" hardliner Shen Boyang said, "The declining average age of being pro-China is a problem that should be taken seriously." What is your comment on this?
Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, stated that for a long time, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities and green camp politicians have been manipulating "anti-China and anti-Beijing" sentiments, attempting to block the channels through which Taiwanese compatriots can understand the true situation on the mainland, misleading the public's perception of the mainland. Thanks to the development of Internet technology and the update and iteration of social applications, cross-strait netizens can now access news and information more quickly, see each other's lives more conveniently, and engage in exchanges in a more diverse way. The lies fabricated by the DPP authorities are gradually being exposed, and the "information cocoon" they created is beginning to collapse.
Zhu Fenglian said that the people on both sides of the strait are one family, and should frequently visit and get closer. It is something we have always been striving to do to let all age groups of Taiwanese compatriots know more about the mainland. We warmly welcome Taiwanese compatriots, especially young people, to come to the mainland to travel, see, pursue their dreams, and we will continue to create better conditions and more opportunities for this.
