In response to the allegations that the Green Camp had received subsidies from Taiwan’s cultural department to take the film, some island netizens retorted, “I don’t even have to go to the Ministry of Culture to collect my tax money.

Taiwan’s“United Daily News” has previously commented that Taiwanese films are moving intensively into the mainland, “Cross-strait cultural exchanges are opening a window, and film and television talents are being exchanged between the two sides, highlighting how shallow the high walls that the DPP is always eager to build whenever things happen on the mainland.”.
Liu Xingren, an associate professor at Taiwan’s“Chinese Culture University,” wrote in an article that the mainland has opened up the release of four Taiwanese films one after another to show their attachment to Taiwan’s humanistic feelings and to show that Chinese culture goes far beyond its borders, third, it shows that cross-strait cultural exchanges can not be cut off at all. “Film and television cultural exchanges reflect the natural mechanism of the market, and the open attitude of the mainland contrasts sharply with the narrow-mindedness of Taiwan.”. Taiwan’s“Want” 30, said in an editorial, 4 different types of film landing, reflecting the mainland’s self-confidence. This self-confidence makes the mainland more willing to expand people’s life exchanges and maintain the cultural umbilical cord between the two sides. The back-to-back release of the four Taiwanese films on the mainland also shows that there is still room for cultural and commercial exchanges despite the tense cross-strait relations, the article said.
