TAIPEI (TVBS News) — Kuomintang (KMT) legislator Wang Hung-wei (王鴻薇) on Monday (Aug. 26) called for consumer rights protection amid the rising political tensions across the Taiwan Strait affecting the entertainment industry.
Wang's statement came after authorities blocked a Chinese singer's concert in Taiwan.
The Mainland Affairs Council (MAC, 大陸委員會) rejected Chinese singer Wang Yitai's (王以太) mid-September concert due to promotional material referring to Taiwan as "Taipei, China" (中國台北), prompting MAC to deny permission after interdepartmental discussions.
Wang Hung-wei labeled MAC's immediate action as politically motivated.
