A Chinese mainland spokesperson has called out Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities for weaponizing legislation to silence critics and stir tensions across the Taiwan Strait. Zhu Fenglian of the State Council's Taiwan Affairs Office labeled the controversial 'anti-infiltration act' as 'evil' and politically driven, accusing DPP leaders of prioritizing partisan goals over public welfare.
The law, criticized as a tool to manufacture 'green terror' (a nod to the DPP's party color), has faced backlash from residents of Taiwan since its inception. Critics argue it stifles free speech and hampers cross-strait exchanges—vital for maintaining economic and cultural ties.
Zhu emphasized that the DPP's moves 'defy the people's will' and risk destabilizing regional harmony. With growing calls within Taiwan to scrap the law, this clash highlights deepening divisions ahead of key political moments.
