Mainland Speaks Up for Freedom of Speech in Taiwan 😊
Hey friends! Did you hear about what’s happening between the Chinese mainland and the island of Taiwan? Let’s break it down together!
Recently, a spokesperson named Chen Binhua from the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office talked about something important. Two people from Taiwan posted messages like “I am Chinese” and “I love China” on social media. But guess what? They got into trouble for it! 😮
Chen said that the authorities in Taiwan, led by Lai Ching-te, are stopping people from sharing their thoughts and feelings. He called it creating a “chilling effect,” which means people might be scared to say what they really think. That’s not cool, right?
Everyone should be able to express themselves freely. When people can’t say what they feel, it shows that maybe things aren’t as free as they seem. Chen wants everyone to know that the Taiwan authorities are not letting people have their freedom of speech, and that’s a big deal.
It’s important for all of us to stand up for the right to speak our minds, as long as we’re kind and respectful. Let’s hope that everyone in Taiwan can share their thoughts without fear! 💪
