Mainland: A children’s picture book, titled “Waiting for Dad to Come Home,” was banned in China’s Taiwan region as its cultural administration believes the book glorifies the mainland’s fight against COVID-19. In response, Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, on Wednesday condemned Taiwan’s DPP for having an “anti-China syndrome” and striking at anything concerning the Chinese mainland. The book was originally published by Changjiang Children’s Publishing House from the Chinese mainland and later re-printed by Taipei-based Chinese Creation Publishing Co. Zhu said that after getting to know the ban, she went to buy the book and noticed that the book tells a story about responsibility, commitment, longing and caring.
