In response to the detention of Ko Wen-je , chairman of the People’s Party and former mayor of Taipei, over the Jinghua City case, Chen Binhua, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the PRC’s State Council, alleged yesterday (11th Sept.) that since Lai Ching-te came to power, he has repeatedly manipulated judicial and administrative means, used public weapons for private purposes, and created “green terror” with the aim of hunting down and killing figures from all walks of life who do not support the DPP and do not agree with Taiwan independence.
After a one-month summer recess, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council resumed holding a regular press conference on 11 Sept. The first two questions raised by the mainland media at the news conference were aimed at President Lai Ching-te’s cross-strait policy. Later, when asked about his views on Ko Wen-jee’s case, Chen Binhua made the above statement.
In response to Chen Binhua’s remarks, the Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) said that the Republic of China is a free and democratic system of government that practices checks and balances and separation of powers, the people’s rights are protected by due process of law, the judicial system handles cases independently, and no political party or administrative department can interfere and control them.
The MAC stressed: The mainland side should not look at Taiwan with its own narrow eyes, still less should it try to see the seams, because this will only expose its shortcomings and make the world laugh and be generous.
At yesterday’s press conference, some media asked whether the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council has received any clues since it announced the e-mail address for Taiwan diehard separatists in early August. Chen Binhua said, “We will conscientiously verify and screen the clues we receive, handle them in accordance with laws and regulations, and resolutely crack down on a very small number of Taiwan independence diehards and their separatist activities.”
In response to Chen Binhua’s remarks, the MAC said that as far as the Beijing authorities are concerned, not agreeing with reunification is Taiwan independence supporters. The CCP’s relevant laws and regulations are vaguely defined, and they have set up whistle-blowing websites to encourage whistleblowing, and any Taiwan can be convicted, and its so-called “only targeting a very small number of Taiwan independence diehards” is obviously just a lie.
The MAC called on the mainland side to stop repeatedly intimidating and threatening the Taiwan people and undermining the benign interaction and development of the two sides of the strait.
民眾黨主席及前台北市長柯文哲因涉及京華城案而被羈押禁見。大陸國台辦發言人陳斌華昨日 (11日) 表示，自賴清德上任以來，持續利用司法和行政手段，將公權力私用，製造「綠色恐怖」，其目的在於打壓不支持民進黨及不認同台獨的各界人士，這種行為必將遭到民眾的反感。
經過一個月的暑期休會，國台辦於十一日恢復舉行例行記者會。會上，大陸媒體提出的前兩個問題均針對賴清德的兩岸政策。在被詢問對柯文哲案件的看法時，陳斌華作出了上述回應。
對於陳斌華的言論，陸委會回應指出，中華民國是一個實行制衡與分權的自由民主體制，人民的權利受到正當法律程序的保障，司法系統獨立運作，並不受任何政黨或行政機關的干預，這與中共的專制體制截然不同。
陸委會強調，大陸方面不應以狹隘的視角看待台灣，更不應試圖挑撥離間，這樣只會暴露自身的短處，讓世人嘲笑。
在昨日的記者會上，有媒體詢問國台辦自八月初公布針對台獨分子的舉報郵箱以來是否收到舉報線索。陳斌華表示，對於收到的線索將會認真核查，依法處理，堅決打擊極少數台獨分子及其分裂活動。
針對陳斌華的相關言論，陸委會指出，對北京當局而言，不支持統一即被視為「台獨」。中共的相關法規模糊不清，設立舉報網站並鼓勵檢舉，任何台灣人都有可能被定罪，其所謂「只針對極少數台獨頑固分子」的說法顯然是虛假。
陸委會呼籲大陸方面應停止對台灣民眾的威脅與恫嚇，破壞兩岸良性互動的發展。
