如果媒體報導中國涉台系統試圖接觸台灣藝人,並以市場與資源交換政治表態,台灣社會當然該提高警覺。當「一個中國」被當成市場准入的條件,這已非單純商業合作,而是政治力量對文化創作的侵蝕。

但台灣在憤怒之餘,更該自問:我們究竟要怎麼做,才能讓人才不必用價值觀去交換舞台?

請繼續往下閱讀...

這個問題,比單純咒罵統戰更為關鍵。我們必須面對現實:藝人不是政治人物,他們需要舞台、資金、製作團隊與市場。不只是藝人,明日的運動員、導演、音樂人乃至科技人才皆然。人才最害怕的不是沒有理想,而是沒有展現價值的機會。面對龐大市場的誘惑,光喊「那是統戰、你不要去」絕無效果,我們必須拿出自信回答:「留在台灣,你一樣能成功,而且能走向全世界。」

TWICE台灣成員周子瑜與韓團合約今年底到期,傳出中國涉台系統鎖定周子瑜,探詢轉往中國發展的可能。(資料照)有人將文化產業的困境歸咎於文化部「預算被砍」。預算固然重要,但問題核心絕非「錢多錢少」的表面爭議,而是產業結構的長期工程。政府可以投資,但不能永遠只靠補助。台灣真正需要的是健全的產業鏈——從人才培育、製作、展演到國際行銷,讓創作能自我循環、產生價值,並從台灣跨足日韓、東南亞甚至歐美市場。當台灣能將藝人的舞台從「中國市場」擴大為「全球市場」,北京的政治吸引力自然驟降。這才是威權與民主競爭中,真正的實力較量。

民主最大的力量在於選擇。如果有人利用文化身分替消滅中華民國或武力威脅宣傳,政府依法處理是國安底線;但正常的跨境工作與交流,只要未踩法律紅線,就應保留空間。我們不能一邊批評中國限制自由,一邊要求藝人只能說我們想聽的話——那不是民主的勝利,而是失去自信的開始。

面對中國的戰略,我們需要的不是恐慌,而是競爭。中國拿市場吸引人,台灣就拿自由創造市場;中國把藝人當成宣傳載體,台灣就該讓創作者享有不必表態的自由。

台灣真正需要的是健全的影視產業鏈,圖為影史台片票房冠軍的《陽光女子合唱團》再傳捷報,進軍東京影展! (資料照,好時光娛樂提供)真正有自信的民主,不是築起高牆把人才鎖住,而是把門打開、把舞台做大。台灣真正要防範的,從來不只是中國挖走幾個藝人,而是有一天,我們失去了讓人才相信「留在台灣,也能看見世界」的能力。這才是這場爭議中最深沉的警訊。

The article uses this to reflect on Taiwan, explore cross-strait exchanges, the stance of the Golden Horse, national defense arms purchases and asymmetric combat power, emphasizing that the key to avoiding war is to prevent Beijing from mistakenly thinking that Taiwan is weak and can be bullied.
