吳欣岱:蔡康永參選造勢現場被中國抵制暴露威權思維

Quick Look

台灣基進市議員參選人吳欣岱指出,知名主持人蔡康永因參與民進黨台北市長參選人沈伯洋造勢現場而遭中國網友出征抵制及商業切割,此事暴露中國威權思維與文化統戰,強調民主社會應保障人民聆聽不同聲音的權利,而非實施政治忠誠審查。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

中國長期利用文化產業進行統戰,要求藝人必須擁護黨的路線,台灣藝人在參與中國官方活動或表態時常被 politicised。近年來,中國對台灣公眾人物的壓力逐步升級,從工作限制延伸至言論與參與公開活動的自由。

知名主持人蔡康永因現身民進黨台北市長參選人沈伯洋競選活動現場,遭到中國網友出征抵制及合作廠商急切切割,台灣基進台北市內湖、南港區市議員參選人吳欣岱今(5)日表示,此事件充分暴露中國自卑的民族主義心態與玻璃心作祟。她指出,這起事件真正值得台灣社會警惕的,並非蔡康永是否支持特定候選人,而是一個台灣主持人僅僅是為了親自感受現場氣氛、聆聽各方意見,竟在中國遭到封殺與商業報復。

吳欣岱表示,蔡康永已對外說明前往現場是為了「見識一下」並作為未來若有機會訪問不同候選人的事前功課。高度肯定蔡康永展現的主持專業,強調要訪問政治人物,本就不應只坐在攝影棚閱讀書面資料,更需實地觀察候選人如何面對群眾、群眾的反應以及現場真實的氛圍。吳欣岱直言,在民主國家,主持人赴造勢現場觀察或學者研究不同政黨皆屬常態,前往聆聽並不等同於全盤接受其主張;若連單純「想聽聽對方說什麼」都必須接受政治忠誠審查,台灣人終將失去思想的自由。

請繼續往下閱讀...

吳欣岱進一步點出中國文化統戰的深層危機。她回顧剛過去的十一國慶,台灣藝人是否轉發中國官媒或祝賀早已被迫成為固定的政治表態;陸委會過去亦曾點出中共長期以意識形態介入影視藝文環境。她強調,中國的演藝產業規範明文要求從業人員必須擁護黨的路線,這種文化統戰最可怕的效益,是逼迫演藝工作者每天進行自我審查,時時刻刻計算言行與合照對象是否會導致丟掉工作。他說,此次蔡康永事件更顯示了中國打壓的再度升級,過去是要求「在中國工作必須說什麼」,如今竟演變成「人在台灣也不能去聽某些人說什麼」。

吳欣岱重申,蔡康永當天並未助講,也未宣布支持特定候選人,單純坐在台下觀察潛在訪談對象,卻引來中國網路出征與商業切割,這正是民主社會最不應接受的威權思維。他認為,民主最珍貴之處不只是擁有發言權,更是擁有聆聽不同聲音的權利,無論是聽沈伯洋、蔣萬安,抑或是支持統一或台灣主體性的人,最終的同意與否都能交由閱聽人自行判斷。吳欣岱最後表達對蔡康永的支持,強調真正有自信的社會絕不怕人民聽見不同聲音,唯有威權體制才會恐懼一個人走進現場親自觀察與判斷。

The Kuomintang criticized Shen Boyang's drug policy remarks for hurting the next generation. Su Qiaohui said that the policy has been in effect for many years and does not require too much talk.

Shen Boyang, the Taipei mayoral candidate from the Kuomintang, had an old drug policy article published 12 years ago. He was accused of equating drugs with drugs and advocating decriminalization, triggering criticism from the Kuomintang and Chiang Wanan. The New Taipei City Council's Kuomintang group held a press conference to criticize his remarks for hurting the next generation and asked Su Qiaohui to express her position. Su Qiaohui responded that the relevant policies have been in place for a long time, and the Shuangbei City Government has announced them regularly, so there is no need to talk too much, and accused the blue camp of distorting the facts for the election.
