A political commentator yesterday accused of President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) of pressuring China Television Co’s (CTV) management to shut down her program, Late Night Punch (夜間打權).
Joyce Huang (黃智賢) said in an interview with the Chinese-language United Daily News that she was told by CTV’s management on Monday that her show would be canceled, adding that it was confirmed on Wednesday that today would be her last day on the job.
The person who informed her about the decision gave four reasons why her program was canceled, Huang said.
“First, I was critical of Tsai Ing-wen. Second, I was also too harsh in my criticisms of the US and Japan. Particularly, I only talked about the US-China trade dispute from the Chinese perspective,” she said. “Tokyo also protested, as I talked a lot about the history of the Japanese colonial era.”
