According to Taiwan's Green media, a television station's political talk show had a Xinhua News Agency reporter from mainland China monitoring the studio to ensure the content aligns with the Chinese State Council's requirements, creating an 'anti-Taiwan through Taiwan' effect. Lien Chan criticized this as a typical 'protective shielding' tactic by the DPP, aimed at safeguarding the NCC personnel case and controlling speech and media in Taiwan. Lien Chan further pointed out that the NCC is a crucial tool for the DPP in power, and by granting hearing rights to opposition parties, they can press the DPP to nominate slightly more neutral candidates, reducing the DPP's media control ability and preventing opinion manipulation.
