On the 24th, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of China issued the revised “Administrative Measures for Performance Brokers”, which stipulates the organization and management responsibilities of the qualification examination. The examination is carried out once a year and the qualification certificate will be issued if the examination is passed. Among them, applicants must have the nationality of the Chinese Communist Party and “support the Constitution of the People’s Republic of China.” The supplementary provisions further stipulate that “the present Measures shall apply to Chinese citizens who are permanent residents of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and Macao Special Administrative Region and residents of Taiwan who participate in the qualification examination for performance brokers.”
According to the “Epochtimes” report, Lai Zhongqiang, the convener of the Economic and Democratic Union, stated in an interview that Beijing wants to “legalize” Taiwanese artists from the United Front. It requires Taiwanese artists who develop in mainland to follow the “One China principle” and “unification”. “, “Support the Communist Party” statement. “In fact, this has always been the case in the past. The agent management method set this time is to manage the artists through the agent.”
Legislator Wu Siyao said in an interview that Beijing is very absurd, using the law to censor thoughts and speech, curb the freedom of thought and creation, and hit Taiwanese artists and related practitioners in mainland China. Everyone knows that the examination of certificates is to certify professional competence, but Beijing is tied to a unified thinking, which completely violates the trend of international democracy and does not respect the supremacy of professionalism. “This is unacceptable in a democratic society because it violates freedom, human rights, etc. Universal Value”.
Wu Siyao also pointed out that “the risks of going forward to China are difficult to predict”, and you may inevitably go further into the trap. And when you really accidentally violated Beijing’s laws and are being prosecuted, “We are going to rescue you, or we are going to do some concerted efforts, it is relatively difficult for (other countries).”
Legislator Cai Yingcheng pointed out in an interview that Taiwan has never required Chinese nationals to participate in Taiwanese film performances in compliance with the Constitution of the Republic of China. “Because we think this is the freedom of performing arts and creation, and it is also the category of your freedom of speech.”
Tsai also said that no one in Taiwan can qualify, because all Taiwan brokers hold Republic of China identity cards, but Beijing does not allow the Republic of China to exist, so it is tantamount to trapping non-CCP people who are trapped overseas and developing on the mainland. He even emphasized that Beijing’s system obliterates humanity, just as it controls Hong Kong, Hong Kong people leave.
Taipei City Councillor Miao Boya bluntly stated in an interview that the totalitarian regime in Beijing fears the freedom of public opinion the most, the organization of the people, and the free flow of capital. This has led to the rectification of the entertainment industry. It also called on the Taiwan government or local authorities to have clearer messages to remind creators and gradually guide them to develop in the international market.
