Chinese-language daily China Times on Tuesday released a press statement defending its intern who made headlines for joining a water balloon fight at the Legislative Yuan. Legislative Yuan Secretary-General Lin Chih-chia (林志嘉) said Han had obstructed legislative proceedings and that the police would be asked to handle the case. "Throwing water balloons was the act of a young person who became caught up in the heat of the moment. At parliament, this behavior is improper, but it absolutely is not a national security risk, as some people have described it as," China Times stated. The adults set a bad example, and the Legislative Yuan should file a police complaint about lawmakers throwing balloons instead of going after the student."
