Recently, Taiwanese cases of new coronary pneumonia have re-emerged. Because it is on the eve of the New Year's Eve, many of the indoor and outdoor gatherings promoted by local county and city governments at high decibels will continue to be held, which also makes many organizers feel that is at a dilemma and is uncertain.
Actually, the political entertainment phenomenon of Taiwan's current local county and city governments vying to hold festivals and gatherings has its roots.
As early as the mid-1990s, after Chen Shui-bian became the mayor of Taipei, he was elected because Chen Shui-bian’s campaign route abandoned the traditional grassroots tragic appeal of the DPP and turned to bright themes such as "happiness and hope." During his post as mayor, Chen Shui-bian began to use government-run festivals to package and market Taipei City Government’s "doing achievements." At that time, this kind of political entertainment was very effective, coupled with the nature of the Taiwanese people, so that government-run festivals began to flourish throughout Taiwan and continue to this day.
Taiwan’s politically entertaining government-run festivals have advantages. For example, they can inject vigor and vitality into a rigid society, and it can also benefit other multicultural music and public relations industries. And coupled with Taiwan's "election culture", government-run festivals can also better "consolidate people's hearts" and boost popularity, which will help politicians help themselves to a higher level.
All things must be moderate. It is a good thing to organize similar activities appropriately. However, if Taiwan's local county and city governments blindly immerse themselves in it, the effect may be counterproductive. For example, if the government confuses its own role and pays too much attention to the surface, it will cover up the lack of infrastructure construction. If there are too many festivals packed with cultural symbols, cultural governance will become a formality, but the substance will be ignored; and this way Activities will also crowd out budgets for policies such as people's livelihood, social welfare, and education.
Therefore, perhaps also a politician in Taiwan’s local counties and cities, too much pursues such political entertainment. As a result, Taiwan’s infrastructure construction has not changed much in the past 20 years, and the expansion of entertainment has not only affected It has the potential for the development of a city where the people of Taiwan live, and it also makes the politicians on the stage not look like political professionals, but more like actors who are acting each other.
Under normal circumstances, Taiwanese politicians like to engage in political entertainment and performance, and county and city officials like to engage in entertainment activities. However, after the risk of the outbreak of the new crown in Taiwan, smart county and city chiefs are already afraid of being backed up and canceling the New Year’s Eve celebrations; the remaining ones are still performing, I hope that people’s health should be more attentive .
Everyone in the media said that
Taiwan’s New Year’s Day opening of "Laizhu" imports is a foregone conclusion
Taiwan New Year's Eve
