Chinese authorities criticize Taiwanese media in connection with the shooting of a Taiwanese church in California, USA ... "Political use of the case"

The Chinese government has criticized the Taiwanese media for the shootings in a Taiwanese church in California.

A shooting incident occurred on May 15th at a church belonging to the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan in Laguna Woods, California, killing one person and injuring five. Both the suspect and the victim are reported to be Taiwanese residents, but US police officials are investigating the possibility of a crime due to a difference in political position.

According to the Taiwan Attorney's Office in Los Angeles, David Chow, who caused the case, was born in Taiwan in 1953. However, Chow has a grudge against Taiwan, which is seen as the motive for the crime.

In response, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the Chinese State Council announced comments on May 17th through Official SNS. He criticized Taiwan's conservative media for using the case politically.

Zhu Fenglian, a spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the Chinese State Council, referred to the shooting incident in response to questions from the media and criticized that "some media in Taiwan are using the incident politically."

"Taiwanese media reported that all suspects and victims 'immigrated from Taiwan to the United States'," said Zhu in a comment. He continued saying that "This is because Taiwanese conservative media used a tragic shooting incident. It was a hoax that was spread and used politically. It's very malicious and inhumane."
