An English-language channel run by Taiwan's public broadcaster Public Exhibition and Culture Business Fund, PTS, has been controversial for referring to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump as a "serious criminal."

According to Taiwan's Central News Agency, the English-language channel "Taiwan Plus," run by PTS, aired a reporter's comment on the 6th that the U.S. appears to be leaning toward a felon between the first female president and a convicted felon during the U.S. presidential election coverage.

However, the video was quickly deleted from the website and YouTube.Taiwan's culture minister,

Liyuan, told reporters the matter was very severe, explaining that the independently run PTS had taken down the news shortly after discussions through the review system.
