According to Taiwan media reports, at 7 pm on December 24, Kaohsiung City "2021 Cross-Lighting Centennial" event premiered on the banks of the Love River. Mayor Chen Qimai believed that the drone and performance in the event was the most eye-catching and requested an additional performance at 10 o'clock that night. However, this "bright" political achievement these days has revealed that the 500 UAVs used in the event are all made by mainland China, and the flight patterns and programming are also executed by mainland companies.
On December 29th, when asked about the matter, Chen Qimai evasively stated that there is no information security issue, and the more important thing is creativity in the event.
's answer made many Taiwanese netizens ridicule: the naked double standard, how did the DPP authorities avoid mainland products in the past, and now the phrase "no information security issues" has been fooled?
more than 100 years ago, Kaohsiung was not called its current name, but "Dagou". To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Kaohsiung’s name change, the Kaohsiung City Government decided to take the Christmas and New Year’s Day double festivals as an opportunity to hold the "2021 Cross-Lighting Centennial" event at the end of the year. The first performance will be held at 7pm on the 24th.
That night, after a 15-minute light show, symphony orchestra and choir performances, a drone performance was ushered as a stage performance program. With Christmas songs in response to the scene, 500 drones were lifted off and put out Christmas tree, snowflakes, "Kaohsiung 100" and other patterns.
This drone performance "makes the audience exclaim again and again."
Chen Qimai, who came to watch the performance, said that on the bank of Kaohsiung’s mother river- love river , the beauty of the entire city can be exhibited in front of the people of Taiwan at once, which makes people "very moving" and feels as Kaohsiung. People, living in Kaohsiung is "very happy".
Chen Qimai also announced on the spot that at 10 o'clock that night, a drone performance will be added. “I hope that the people who missed it will be able to grasp the extra-large performance on Christmas Eve and enjoy the largest and tallest Christmas tree in Taiwan by the river of love.” Shi Zhe, the deputy mayor of Kaohsiung who accompanied
, revealed that the entire performance was "Taiwan IP (copyright)".
However, the Kaohsiung City Government has not been happy for a few days. On December 28, a Taiwanese drone manufacturer broke the news to the media that all the 500 drones that participated in the previous performance were all made in mainland China, with Christmas trees, snowflakes, etc. The flight programming of the pattern is also carried out by mainland companies on the other side. No public tender has been made, and the Taiwan team has not participated from start to finish.
's revelation is tantamount to directly hitting the Kaohsiung City Government, and it has also caused heated discussions on Taiwan's social networks.
On the evening of the 28th, the Kaohsiung City Information Bureau responded that the pattern design and flight programming in the drone show were completely produced by the Taiwanese team, emphasizing that the drone show "The most important thing is to create ideas, faithfully present ideas, and the creative team will look for them. Cooperating vendors to execute (if), no matter where the hardware comes from or where the application comes from, as long as the Kaohsiung thought is expressed." On the one hand,
claimed that the flight programming was entirely made by the Taiwan team, and on the other hand, it seemed to reveal that there might also be "cooperative manufacturers" involved. This inconsistent statement made the drone industry further question: Kaohsiung City Government should take the initiative to provide the Taiwan team It is difficult to win the trust of the outside world if the programming content or the list of participants and materials are produced.
, an assistant professor of electronic engineering at Nantai University of Science and Technology and founder of Taiwan Hope Innovation, who has performed 400 drone performances in Tainan , said that it is possible to design original patterns by himself, but he is a professional in flight programming and can draw animation. It does not mean that you will be able to draw animations for the drone, and you need to cooperate with the drone's performance, interval and safe distance capture.
For this reason, Chen Qimai personally explained when he attended the event on the morning of the 29th: "The same team actually performed two shows in , Taichung and , and one in Penghu... The performance included stage, lighting, sound... It is international, and there are a lot of equipment. The most important thing is actually its creativity, its ideas, whether the whole event can present the characteristics of Kaohsiung."Z3z
Chen Qimai emphasized that there is no information security problem, and the use of mainland China The cost of making drones is also shared by other counties and cities.
Finally, Chen Qimai gave a special example, "Some things are actually normal, like the mobile phone iPhone you use is also made in the mainland."
It is worth mentioning that in March 2016, Chen Qimai, who was still serving as a "legislator," because he received a commemorative trophy made in mainland China, he rushed to post on Facebook, claiming that he was "super unhappy". He questioned how even a commemorative trophy was made in mainland China. "No wonder Taiwan's economy will not rise and the unemployment rate remains high."
