Taipei cautions entertainers against echoing Communist Party ‘propaganda campaigns’ ahead of Beijing’s Victory Day celebrations
“Taiwanese entertainers developing careers in mainland China must abide by cross-strait regulations, be mindful of public perception, and refrain from supporting the Communist Party’s propaganda campaigns – particularly the September 3 military parade,” said Chiu Chui-cheng, head of the council.
He stressed that celebrities must safeguard the island’s image, dignity and collective interests, and avoid endorsing remarks that belittle Taiwan or undermine the Republic of China (ROC), the island’s official name for itself.
Chiu said more than 10 entertainers had responded to government inquiries and that the culture ministry would continue its review of the rest to determine whether they were cooperating with the Communist Party’s united front strategy, referring to Beijing’s use of influence operations to woo Taiwanese.
