The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has resorted to blocking the Chinese mainland's "Taiwan youth e-home" service platform under pretexts that are nothing but separatist rhetoric. In fact, the very act of blocking only proves that the platform meets the needs of young people in the Taiwan region and strikes a raw nerve with the DPP authorities, Chen Binhua, spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, said on Friday.

周五，国务院台湾事务办公室发言人陈斌华表示，民进党以所谓“台独”言论为借口，阻挠中国大陆“台湾青年e家”服务平台，实际上这种阻挠行为恰恰证明该平台契合了台湾地区青年的需求，触动了民进党当局的敏感神经。

Chen's remarks were made in response to a question regarding the DPP's move to prevent Taiwan compatriots from accessing the platform and their claims that the platform poses risks of personal data leakage and operates as a tool for waging public opinion and psychological warfare.

陈斌华的言论是在回应民进党阻止台湾同胞访问该平台的举动，以及他们声称该平台存在个人数据泄露风险并作为发动舆论和心理战的工具的问题时做出的。

"Taiwan youth e-home" service platform is a public-welfare comprehensive service platform tailored for young people in Taiwan. It is designed to meet the needs of young Taiwan residents who come to the mainland for exchanges and development, and offers a full range of information services covering exchanges, studies, internships and employment. Since its launch, the platform has been well received and recognized by people across Taiwan, especially young generations on the island, Chen said.

“台湾青年e家”服务平台是为台湾青年量身打造的公益性综合服务平台。它旨在满足台湾青年来大陆交流和发展的需求，提供交流、学习、实习和就业等全方位的信息服务。陈斌华说，自推出以来，该平台受到了全台湾人民，尤其是岛上的年轻一代的欢迎和认可。

Chen said turning a blind eye to the aspirations and needs of Taiwan's young people for cross-Straits exchanges and development, the DPP authorities have openly threatened to block the platform under pretexts including personal information leakage, united front tactics. All these excuses are nothing but "Taiwan independence" rhetoric, he added.

陈斌华表示，民进党当局无视台湾青年对两岸交流与发展的愿望和需求，公然以泄露个人信息、统战手段等为借口，威胁阻挠相关平台建设。他补充说，这些借口无非是“台独”言论而已。

The spokesperson asked, "Does giving Taiwan youth one more opportunity count as 'united front tactics?' Does letting Taiwan youth make their own comparisons count as a 'risk?'"

发言人问道：“再给台湾青年一次机会算‘统战战术’吗？”让台湾青年自己做比较算“风险”吗？’”

In fact, the DPP authorities' blockage only serves as further proof that the platform responds to Taiwan youth's demands and strikes home where the DPP authorities hurt most. Acting perversely against the popular trend, the DPP authorities have ordered relevant parties to block the website address and shield the webpage. Nevertheless, they can never bar young people in Taiwan from pursuing opportunities and development, nor can they shut the door that the platform represents in the hearts of people on both sides of the Taiwan Straits.

事实上，民进党当局的封锁只是进一步证明了这个平台回应了台湾青年的诉求，击中了民进党当局最脆弱的地方。民进党当局与流行趋势背道而驰，下令有关方面封锁该网址并屏蔽该网页。但是，他们不可能阻止台湾年轻人寻求机会和发展，也无法关闭平台在两岸人民心中的大门。

The Chinese mainland's 15th Five-Year Plan has gotten off to a solid start with a good beginning, and high-quality development holds vast opportunities. It is a fertile ground for young Taiwan residents to pursue exchanges, studies, employment, and entrepreneurship, he said.

中国内地“十五五”规划开局良好，稳中有进的高质量发展机遇巨大。他说，这是台湾青年追求交流、学习、就业和创业的沃土。

"We always uphold the principle that 'both sides of the Taiwan Straits belong to one and the same China,' and we will continue to create better conditions and provide more convenience for young Taiwan people to pursue and realize their dreams on the mainland," said Chen, adding "We welcome Taiwan youth to make active use of the platform to feel the warmth of home, and to experience services that are getting better and better."

陈表示：“我们始终秉持‘两岸同属一个中国’的原则，将继续创造更好条件，为台湾青年在大陆追梦逐愿提供更大便利。”他还补充道：“我们欢迎台湾青年积极利用这一平台，感受家的温暖，并体验日益完善的各项服务。”
