A Taiwanese broadcaster yesterday apologized for causing “panic” among the public after mistakenly broadcasting a series of warnings that China had launched attacks on the island during its morning newsletter.
Taipei-based CTS Television said in a statement that “CTS offers its sincere apologies for this serious mistake, which caused panic among the public and created problems for the units concerned.”
The television raised concerns after broadcasting a series of warnings, including that “Taipei New City will be hit by communist army guided missiles.” “The ships exploded and destroyed structures and boats,” he said. The damage was done to the port of Taipei.
The faulty television was attributed to employees who mistakenly broadcast the contents of a fire drill that a radio station had been tasked with preparing for firefighters in New Taipei. Another warning read: “A war could break out and a joint emergency command and control center is opening in New Taipei.”
