Recently, some media outlets on the island of Taiwan reported that the "Black Bear Academy" has launched a disaster prevention kit priced at NT$1,380 ($46.95), with a production cost of only NT$300, which has led to accusations that the "anti-China" efforts have turned into a scheme for profit. In response to the media inquiries, Zhu Fenglian, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council said on Wednesday that, the "Black Bear Academy," a base for "Taiwan independence," is supported by the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities and external interference forces.

On one hand, it openly cultivates "Taiwan independence separatists advocating violence" and promotes the fallacies of "Taiwan independence," engaging in separatist activities for a long time. On the other hand, it is profiting from the fear of war by selling disaster prevention kits, making a fortune from this fear, Zhu said.

It's hoped that the Taiwan residents can see through their profit-driven motives, recognize the serious dangers of "Taiwan independence," and not be deceived or manipulated by them, Zhu said.
