(Central News Agency, Taipei, June 3, reporter Li Yawen) The 'Comedy Club' (Kamidì) was attacked, and China has denied cross-border repression. The Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) stated that police are clarifying the case, and the government firmly opposes cross-border repression. If any local collaborators are found to be cooperating with the Chinese Communist Party to threaten Taiwan, they will be severely punished according to the law.
The Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) said on the evening of the 3rd that police are investigating the attack on the Comedy Club. If, as the Chinese State Council's Taiwan Affairs Office claims, this was an 'expression of public opinion,' why did the suspect specifically reset his phone to factory settings? This is not in line with common sense, and the MAC believes that the facts will be clarified through police investigation.
The MAC stated that the Taiwan studio of Hong Kong resident Tang Weixiong (alias Fu Tang) was previously subjected to a planned paint attack. The suspect specifically entered Taiwan from Hong Kong and left immediately after the crime. It is an undeniable fact that the Chinese Communist Party uses collaborators to carry out cross-border repression against Taiwan.
The MAC emphasized that in the face of the Chinese Communist Party's cross-border repression, the government has established an inter-ministerial mechanism to firmly counter such actions and provide assistance to victims. Once local collaborators are found to be cooperating with the Chinese Communist Party in illegal activities such as threats, infiltration, or sabotage against Taiwan, they will be investigated and severely punished according to the law.
Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the Chinese State Council's Taiwan Affairs Office, responded to the attack on the Comedy Club at a regular press conference on the morning of the 3rd. She said she was not familiar with the specific details of the incident but pointed out that 'Taiwan independence is a dead end,' calling it an 'expression of public opinion' and dismissing claims of cross-border repression as 'nonsense.'
The Comedy Club was attacked with filth at 6:45 PM on May 29. The scheduled performance in the hall that evening was 'Xiangsheng Shikong' (Runaway Crosstalk). The organizer of 'Xiangsheng Shikong,' Huang Yihao, had previously publicly performed a skit satirizing Chinese leader Xi Jinping, sparking heated discussions in domestic and international communities.
The MAC stated at the time that the government would never tolerate any violence or disturbance that endangers social security and order, and would firmly oppose any form of cross-border repression by foreign hostile forces against Taiwan. The government attaches great importance to this case, has already understood the situation through an inter-ministerial platform, and will initiate an investigation based on subsequent evidence.
