00:11Our correspondent in China, Bruno Falsi, with the details.
00:15Greetings, colleagues of Telesur and all the audience watching us in this transmission.
00:20I am in Beijing now to report on the Taiwan's recent decision to ban the social app Chinese Red Note.
00:28This for one year.
00:30The measure affects approximately 3 million users, many of them young people who rely on the platform to communication, e-commerce and entertainment.
00:42Beijing criticized the decision, stating that it limits access to information and hinders interactions between the two sides of the Taiwan Straits.
00:53The ban backfired as the app became one of the most downloaded on the island, with users resorting to VPN and other workarounds to continue to use it.
01:07The incident reflects tensions caused by unilateral decision from Taiwan, which seeks to block Chinese platforms under the pretext of security and fraud.
01:18Beijing has emphasized that these measures affect millions of users who depend on their tools to communication and commerce,
01:29demonstrating how Taiwan, under external pressures, adopts policies that can isolate its population from the mainland.
01:39China, on the other hand, defends the free flow of information and regional connectivity.
01:45With these news from here, we go back with you in the studio in La Habana, Cuba.
