Despite the easing of the pandemic, Mainland Chinese journalists stationed in Taiwan continue to face obstacles and strict scrutiny from Taiwanese authorities. Official reasons such as 'no demand from the Mainland' have been used to prevent the return of reporters who were stationed in Taiwan before the pandemic. The reinstatement process for Mainland Chinese journalists involves rigorous scrutiny and 'interviews,' indicating a setback in cross-strait exchanges. The number of journalists from major Mainland media outlets stationed in Taiwan has been significantly reduced post-pandemic, with many applications for reinstatement not being approved without explanation, raising suspicions among journalists and insiders.
