By Lin Miao-Jung  /  STAFF REPORTER

Further, the MAC decided to ban Chinese "politically oriented" advertisements from being displayed in Taiwan in an administrative order which is currently under preparation.

The definition of Chinese "politically oriented" advertisements, according to Yang, includes ads which propagate Chinese communist ideo-logies, those damaging Taiwan's interests and national dignity, and ads that contravene Taiwan's China policies.

The draft administrative regulation is at the stage of cross-ministry negotiation and is expected to be completed within a few months.
