When asked for comment regarding the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities' suppression and revocation of the residency permits of two spouses from the Chinese mainland,MK sports using excuse of their remarks advocating for "unification by force," Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said on Tuesday that this is yet another case of trampling on the fundamental rights of cross-Straits couples by the DPP authorities. She described it as another malicious act of creating green terror and a chilling effect within the island of Taiwan, which escalates cross-Straits confrontation.

Zhu stated that the DPP authorities have repeatedly abused the judicial system and fabricated charges to bully Chinese mainland spouses, forcing families across the Taiwan Straits to be torn apart. She condemned these actions as violating human ethics and devoid of humanity. 

The actions of the DPP authorities once again expose that their so-called "democracy" is merely "DPP authorities in charge," and their notion of "freedom" only applies to those who advocate for "Taiwan independence," said Zhu. If the DPP authorities continue to pursue "Taiwan independence" autocracy and ideological censorship, Taiwan society will fall into a situation where people are punished for their words and everyone lives in fear, she said.

"We warn the DPP authorities that we will hold accountable and punish according to the law the heinous acts of "Taiwan independence" separatist forces thugs and accomplices who suppress mainland spouses," according to Zhu.
