The Taiwan Affairs Office held a regular press conference. Reporter: The “Measures for the Supervision and Inspection of Cyberspace Security by Public Security Organs” issued by the Ministry of Public Security will come into effect on October 1. The Democratic Progressive Party authorities said that the mainland is building a “strict and confidential authoritarian legal tool chain from the inside out”. Taiwanese people must carefully evaluate the necessity before going to the mainland, and never underestimate the personal and information security risks involved. Any comments on this please? Taiwan Affairs Office Spokesman Zhang Han: Recently, the Ministry of Public Security issued a departmental regulation “Measures for the Supervision and Inspection of Cyberspace Security by Public Security Organs”. This measure applies to public security organs to carry out supervision and inspection of the performance of data security obligations by network operators, data processors, and personal information processors in accordance with the law, and to regulate public security law enforcement acts. The enactment of this measure is conducive to supervising network operators, data processors, personal information processors, etc., strengthening the security protection of networks, data and personal information, jointly preventing illegal crimes such as telecommunication network fraud, and safeguarding national security and the public interest of society. The claims made by the DPP administration are completely false rumors to discredit and mislead people. The Democratic Progressive Party authorities have extended “black hands” to people's lives. They have repeatedly incited false narratives of “democracy versus authority”, deliberately escalated the rivalry between the two sides of the Strait, blocked and disrupted cross-strait exchanges and cooperation; wantonly trampled on democracy, undermined the rule of law, prohibited freedom, and promoted “green terror” on the island. Recently, Taiwanese civil servants visiting their families in mainland China have repeatedly requested the Taiwan People's Party to provide data such as family and friend lists and phone calls, etc. How qualified are the authorities to talk ostentatiously about “information security”?
