♣ AFP, 2023-11-26: after a Taiwanese director voiced support for the island's independence in an acceptance speech in 2018's Golden Horse Film awards, There were no mainland films in the 2019 nomination list and several Hong Kong movies dropped out that year, while big commercial productions were conspicuously absent at both the 2020 and 2021 awards.
♣
Variety, 2023-11-26:
After Chinese
industry to boycott Golden Horse,
parts of the Hong Kong industry have stayed away too. Many Hong
Kong film folks find themselves torn between the developing
political and financial realities back home and Taiwan's indie-spirited
film industry. Tsai's government has unveiled
a succession of policies seemingly designed to use culture and
entertainment to give the island territory a larger profile on the world
stage. It remains to be seen if more of the TAICCA-seeded projects come to
fruition. And if Taiwan's film and TV companies are willing and able to
fill the gap in the market created by Hong Kong's production slowdown
and by mainland Chinese entertainment's inward turn of the past five
years... brief

| Dr. Joseph Nye said hard
& soft power enable Taiwan to
deal with China and
expand its international space. (Dec.
8, 2010)
The Diplomat 10-5-2020 (https://thediplomat.com/2020/10/us-presidential-elections-2020-the-taiwan-factor/)
advises that
Taiwan’s strategic calculus could double down on
its use of soft power.
Washington Post, 2-17-2021:Today,
98 % of Taiwanese are ethnic Han Chinese...
|
|
| Taiwan stated "Taiwan is small, but our 'soft power' is big ! " , "Culture makes Taiwan great ! " | |
| However,
Taiwan's
culture
like a mouse in circles
still stay in same place.
United Daily, 2022-7-5: too much
controls by the gov. results in uninteresting TV show, and industry
suffering
udn.com/news/story/121823/6425508?from=udn_ch2cate6643sub121823_pulldownmenu_v2
A column
article of United Daily 2-21-2019: Taiwan's cultural and creative
industry almost become an endangered industry. Taiwan's
cultural &
creative industry has nothing but slogans and many argues. The total
value of Taiwan's cultural & creative production was far behind of that
of Korea, Korea's value in publication is about 6 times larger than
Taiwan's, Film industry 6 times, TV 3.5 times, Advertising 3
times, Pop-music 6 times bigger than Taiwan's, according to statistics
by Taiwan government and reports by headline news of the China Times at
12-24-2017. CTN comments that Taiwan lacks of updated
related laws and policy
― no
focus, no direction, no institute, original creativity is not
encouraged, the industry field is divided, without integrated marketing.
Taiwan's De-Sinicization policy gave up rich Chinese cultural background
and history ......
so as to lose advantage in
cultural-creativity battlefield.
Critics in UDN (10-24-2019) : Design
field thinks culture & arts are nothing but decorative, fine arts
belittle commercial arts, etc ... the arts should take the lead for the
fusion of tech. and culture
( for details pls. read
https://udn.com/news/story/11321/4122342
)
. The output value of Taiwan's cultural & creative production in '12 - '13 declined 9.28%, in contrast, Taiwan's neighbor countries increased, China 14.27%, Malaysia, Philippines 8+%, Korea 0.65% ... Taiwan's cultural & creative industry even failed to create a "bubble", the reason is lacking of original creativity. / The China Times, 8-15-2017 Apple Daily, editorial, 10-3-2020: Taiwan president Tsai said "The power of design is the nation's power". From today on, "design" is no longer just an actor, but a "leading actor". Hope so ! https://tw.appledaily.com/headline/20201003/Y3KEHXF4CRDRLJNNY2ZOJUMZ3I/ |
