Veteran artist Gao Jie was criticized for saying 'good evening' during the 35th Golden Melody Awards, with some netizens accusing him of using mainland Chinese terminology. People First Party legislator Wu Chun-cheng questioned the criticism, pointing out the cultural activities during Taiwan's hot spring season sometimes involve wearing kimonos and clogs, wondering if this amounts to pandering to Japan. He criticized the selective cultural opposition in Taiwan, lamenting the shift towards cultural conflict and tension, contrasting it with the democratization process. Wu emphasized the need for Taiwan to embrace multiculturalism for cultural strength, urging the Ministry of Culture to focus on resolving cultural conflicts as a crucial goal.
