Why It Matters
During an inquiry by the Education and Culture Committee of the Legislative Yuan on March 17, 2016, former legislator Lin Changzuo pointed out that Taiwanese singers performing in China are subject to lyrics censorship, and the CCP sends riot police to monitor them. When questioned, Ke Zhien said it was because the crowd was too excited, and said it was an honor for the singer to have riot police present.
The economic issue of the Kaohsiung concert has recently caused a stir between blue and green. The Facebook community "Have a Better Life in Kaohsiung" discovered that KMT mayoral candidate Ke Zhien, when she was a legislator in 2016, said she was a singer "honor" when the CCP sent armed police to monitor the concert. "Have a good life" and criticized the KMT for constantly attacking pop music, concerts, and music festivals in the past, but now it is aggressively exploiting the concert economy for votes.
"Kaohsiung Live Well" published an article saying that when Ko Chi-en was a legislator, former legislator Lin Changzuo once showed pictures and pointed out that when Taiwanese singers perform in China, they must undergo strict censorship of lyric content, and there are personal freedom and safety issues. Even when Taiwanese singers perform, the Chinese Communist Party sends riot police to monitor the scene. At that time, Chinese musicians said that their own singers and performers from other countries did not have these riot police at the music festival. Only Taiwanese singers showed up when they came. "What kind of world wonder is this?"
Unexpectedly, when Ke Zhien came to the stage to ask questions later, he actually said, "This is because I am afraid of crowd riots, because the crowd is too excited, and because it is too exciting, there are riot police." He also emphasized: "It is the singer's honor to have riot police present, do you know that?"
"Kaohsiung Life Is Better" pointed out that Ke Zhien's contemptuous attitude and indifference to the CCP's use of force and intimidation at the concert venue also triggered a backlash in public opinion at the time. Now Ke Zhien has put away the attitude of the Kuomintang in the past, criticizing Kaohsiung people for not attending concerts, saying that Haiyin "can only borrow the toilet", or criticizing Dagang for "making many mothers cry loudly", etc., and pretends to also promote the concert economy.
After investigation, it was found that this conversation was an inquiry of the Education and Culture Committee of the Legislative Yuan on March 17, 2016. Lin Changzuo criticized Ke Zhien afterwards for not understanding the situation at all, and did not want Ke to treat the personal freedom of Taiwanese people with contempt. He also said that Taiwanese independence bands and singers are not allowed to perform in China, and Taiwanese artists are also vulnerable to surveillance, and are obviously treated differently from Japanese and Korean artists.
