The two reporters — Ai Kezhu (艾珂竹) and Lu Qiang (盧薔) — worked for Fujian Province-based Southeast Television and arrived in Taiwan in December last year. If TV news programming had been produced in Taiwan, then the Chinese journalists must have contravened the law, Chiu said. “Our job in Taiwan is to interview people and ask questions; we don’t make TV programs in Taiwan,” Ai said. Southeast Television journalists had not made any appearances on political talk shows or offered any personal opinions, she said. The objective reporting of Taiwanese issues by Chinese reporters over many years had helped Chinese viewers better understand Taiwan, Zhu said, adding that the rights of Chinese reporters should be protected and respected.
