In response to media reports of Chinese state media journalists heavily involved in a TV political program and possibly monitoring to ensure compliance with the Chinese Communist Party's requirements, Premier Su Tseng-chang emphasized the importance of the National Communications Commission (NCC). He called for the quick approval of NCC's personnel approval rights in the legislature, emphasizing the necessity for a professional and independent NCC to instill confidence in its regulated entities. The incident originated from a senior media figure revealing the extensive involvement of a Xinhua News Agency journalist in a domestic TV political program's production, leading to concerns over foreign interference.
