Should dialects be allowed on air?

It must be pointed out that demanding TV and radio programs to use putonghua is not a step toward oppression of dialects, but it is a move to curb strange and irresponsible use of language, whether it is Mandarin or other dialects. In this way, the decision is also a form of protection for dialects. Hearing standard Mandarin on TV and radio programs is also a basic right of audiences around the country.
