Taiwan has opened up to Chinese media journalists, but many of them actually come with 'political missions' and are not ordinary news reporters. According to a report by Liberty Times, Chinese journalists stationed in Taiwan have been involved in producing programs in collaboration with the Chinese Communist Party, with Xinhua News Agency reporters even supervising recordings. Some Chinese journalists in Taiwan do not report Taiwanese news, attend Taiwanese government press conferences, or conduct general news reporting, but instead carry out 'political missions.' This includes incidents like Xinhua News Agency journalist Zhao Bo being involved in a political talk show before leaving Taiwan. Chinese state media content not suitable for Taiwanese audiences has led to systematic efforts by China to recruit Taiwanese individuals for 'internet celebrity training,' aiming to create content like TikTok and YouTube videos. If Chinese journalists engage in activities not in line with their stated purposes in Taiwan, they can be requested to leave and banned from re-entry, with monitoring by national security agencies.
