The Chinese mainland's Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council recently opened an account on the social media platform Facebook, which attracted wide attention from netizens in the Taiwan region. After this, Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council said that anyone who answers the mainland's reward announcements about Taiwan secessionists by providing clues or making reports via the social media may face a prison term of more than seven years. Peng Qing'en, the new spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said in his first press conference that the threat from the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities in the island fully exposes the hypocrisy of the DPP's claim of "freedom of speech."
