Following Banai's controversial mention of Tiananmen Square during her award speech at the Golden Melody Awards, the situation has caused a stir with the Taiwanese Minister of Culture, Li Yuen, clarifying that he cannot engage in self-censorship. He expressed willingness to assist Banai, who has been completely banned in mainland China. Despite concerns over future award ceremonies having mainland Chinese artists participating, Li Yuen remains confident in Taiwan's leadership in the film and music industries in the Chinese-speaking region, emphasizing the importance of creativity in a free and democratic country like Taiwan.
