9月16日，国务院台办举行例行新闻发布会。有记者问： 台湾乐团五月天成员阿信（陈信宏）日前参加苹果公司发布会时，现场有人介绍他来自中国，被工作人员提示称“不要提及这个议题”。大陆网友认为艺人应该公开表态，台湾网友认为该工作人员在带政治风向。请问大陆方面认为台湾艺人参加活动时是否需要进行政治表态？

The State Council Taiwan Affairs Office said on Wednesday that more Taiwan entertainers are naturally expressing their identification with Chinese culture and cross-Strait kinship, after a staff member at an Apple event reportedly told someone not to mention that Ashin, frontman for the band Mayday, is from China.

At a regular press conference, a reporter asked whether mainland authorities believe Taiwan artists should make political statements at such events. The question followed an incident where someone introduced Ashin as being from China, and a staff member was said to have warned against raising the issue.

国台办发言人朱凤莲表示，两岸同属一个中国，台湾是中国领土不可分割的一部分，这是两岸的历史和法理事实，也是国际社会的普遍共识。越来越多台湾演艺人员以各种方式表达对中华文化、对“两岸一家亲”的认同，这是自然而然的真情流露。希望两岸同胞共同维护两岸文化交流的良好氛围，多做有利于增进互信、拉近感情的事。

Spokeswoman Zhu Fenglian stated that both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to one China and that Taiwan is part of China, a historical and legal fact that also has universal international consensus.

She said the growing number of Taiwan performers expressing recognition of Chinese culture and cross-Strait kinship is a natural outpouring of genuine feeling, and expressed hope that compatriots on both sides would jointly maintain a positive atmosphere for cultural exchanges.
