Cultural Minister Li Yuan attended the 2025 Taiwan Cultural Expo Brand Exhibition and the Black Tide Starland Opening Ceremony on the 5th. Regarding the controversy sparked by the rapper Da Zhi's studio receiving a 10 million NT dollar government subsidy, he stated that the Ministry of Culture's rewards have absolutely no political factors. If anyone believes there is political intervention, that is a reflection of party-state ideology. Li Yuan emphasized that the Ministry of Culture has long had various rewards, with intense competition, and the recipients of subsidies are based on professionalism, not political considerations.
