The change of photos from china news station triggered a dispute about taiwan's "political pursuit"

On november 21st, china news agency, taipei, a series of days ago, was triggered by the "strategic curtain incident" over the renewal of licencesTaiwanExtensive social discussion. Critics think the authorities are tramplingFreedom of the pressIt is a political pursuit。

On the following day (19 days), a change of picture from the chinese news channel was rejected, and the former head of the “press bureau” zhongqing, several “national committees” and various civil society groups protested in front of the “communication and communication commission” (ncc) and used slogans such as “presentation of freedom of the press” and “defence of freedom of the press”. According to an opinion poll in the newspaper, in which more than 90,000 people participated, 89 per cent of the population did not agree with the “ncc” resolution, and “the feeling of political involvement should not limit freedom of the press”。

It was reported that groups had organized protests on the subject during the forthcoming “autumn march” in taiwan on 22 december。

A great deal of discussion about the closure has been seen in major media outlets in recent days. The director of the school of journalism and communication of the chinese university of culture of taiwan, hu jiawei, wrote on china times news network that this was the first time that taiwan had “closed a professional news channel by the executive” and the first time that the authorities had blocked freedom of the press since taiwan had “defunct”。

In an article published on the media news network, lawyer chen li ling disproved the reasons for the closure listed by the ncc。

“ncc” lists four main grounds for dismissal, including repeated violations and complaints from mid-day, failures of internal control and self-regulation mechanisms, interference with news broadcasting by large shareholders, and failure to indicate the possibility of improvement. According to the article, the increase in the number of complaints from the population over the past year is linked to the complaints by opponents of the korean yoyo campaign for taiwan’s leadership about chinese yoga; “ncc”, regardless of the authenticity of such complaints, concludes that the media profession has not been implemented. In self-control mechanisms, companies are underperforming if they fail to do so, but the number of advertisements in the news channel is among the highest。

Senior media figures in the ettoday news cloud point out that social criticism does have some criticism of china, but “ncc” does not have any dissenting or reserved voice, and “how can it not be a sense of `internal control mechanisms fail' `political involvement'?” it inevitably triggers a “political pursuit”。

The 20-day editorial of the newspaper u. N. C. Rejected the exchange of photos from the chinese news station, “discreetly shut down the television station, which contradicts the pnp, and in flagrant violation of freedom of the press in taiwan”。

According to the editorial, in recent months there has been a tendency within the authorities to subordinate independent bodies and to politicize academic experts, as evidenced by the opening up by the authorities of the importation of fine pigs containing thin meat, the misdirection by their spokespersons of the use of “recipient cattle” by merchants, and the rise of the chinese public。

According to ettoday news cloud, chinese host chen wen-tong facebook, on the 18th day, all chinese anchors changed their white clothes and left a black ribbon on their chests to symbolize taiwan newsFreedom of expressionDead。

Chen wrote on facebook that the show was a little stale that day. She questioned whether pnp was still insisting on the founding values of “democratic freedom”. She said that today's silence was one of the news media, which was opposed to the authorities, and that it was a “rubber in the eyes of the government” who played a real monitoring role and talked about the controversy, and that the effect on other media was understandable。

The 18th issue of the chinese times, which belongs to the same media group as the chinese news station, will be remembered by history as “taiwan's freedom of the press dying” on 18 november 2020, “taiwan's time of speech”。

According to the editorial, china news is well aware that being locked up is not just a simple matter of “one television station disappearing”, but a serious development in the overall context of press freedom and the deterioration of the media operating environment. Thus, “it will not yield, it will not wait for taiwan's freedom of expression to be killed, and it will take legal action to counter”. (concluded)
