19 Taiwanese Celebrities Celebrate China's National Day

Oct 2, 2026

The special program for China's National Day will be broadcast on CCTV tonight (1). Among the participants, Taiwanese artist Michelle Chen wore a red outfit and sang "My Motherland" with Chinese artists, which sparked heated discussions.

In fact, she had previously shouted "Wishing our motherland a beautiful and prosperous future" in the trailer. In addition, artist Chang Chen-kuang also appeared on CCTV's National Day Gala.

In response, Liang Wen-chieh, deputy chairman of the Mainland Affairs Council, sarcastically remarked, "Some people, if you don't specifically remind them, you wouldn't know they are Taiwanese."

October 1st is China's National Day. Many Taiwanese artists working in China repost related posts from Chinese state media on Weibo or post messages congratulating China on its National Day.

At a regular press conference held on October 1st, the Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) Deputy Minister Liang Wen-chieh was asked about this and responded: "We've seen about 19 cases now.

They're all reposting template text from CCTV. It's mostly the same artists, the same people. Some of them, if you weren't specifically reminded, you wouldn't even know they're Taiwanese.

We've mentioned before that there are two red lines: first, you can't advocate for the use of force against Taiwan; second, you can't advocate for the elimination of the Republic of China's sovereignty. If either of these situations is involved, then of course we will investigate and deal with it."

This has almost become the same recurring show every October in recent years....

These are all Taiwanese entertainers.

The influence of mainland China over Taiwan is increasingly evident, and there will only be more of this to come.

Group criticizes celebrities over pro-China statements​

Twenty-eight Taiwanese entertainers publicly identified the People’s Republic of China (PRC) as their “motherland” around China’s National Day this year, including actors Wu Kang-ren (吳慷仁), Peter Ho (何潤東) and Nicky Wu (吳奇隆), the Economic Democracy Union said yesterday.

Reposting messages from Chinese state media referring to China as the “motherland,” or taking part in official Chinese National Day programs and celebrations, went beyond offering holiday greetings and amounted to public expressions of national identity, the group told a news conference in Taipei.

The entertainers should not enjoy the freedoms and social benefits of Taiwan’s liberal democracy while endorsing Beijing’s political agenda, union convener Lai Chung-chiang (賴中強) said.

Such endorsements allow Beijing to claim that Taiwan is part of the PRC’s “sacred territory” and that unification is the “holy duty” of all people of Chinese heritage, including Taiwanese, Lai said.

The 28 entertainers’ comments could put Taiwan on a similar path, Lai said, urging them to retract their statements or relinquish their Taiwanese citizenship.

While Taiwanese are free to identify as Chinese, they should not impose the view that China is their “motherland” on the rest of the population, he added.
