On October 10, the WeChat public account "Zhejiang Xuanchuan," run by the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee's Publicity Department, published an article criticizing Kevin Tsai for staying silent and avoiding taking a stand when the public needs one, saying that a person's works cannot be separated from their character, and stated in the comments section that it wanted to warn a whole crowd of fence-sitters that no ambiguity is tolerated on the question of where one stands.
