Zhongtian News is about to change the license revision. In addition to the news station’s self-discipline mechanism, people are more concerned about whether the Zhongtian News station has received subsidies from China to help China expand its national security in Taiwan. In this regard, legislator Qiu Xianzhi previously discussed on Facebook “the Zhongtian United Front Group that receives orders from abroad and produces domestically.”
First, Qiu Xianzhi pointed out that Want Want China receives 1.8 billion subsidies from China every year and then signs an advertising framework agreement with Zhongtian: Hong Kong-listed Want Want China receives 1.8 billion subsidies from the Chinese government every year and more than 15,000 million over 10 years. At the same time, Want Want China signed an advertising framework agreement with Zhongtian TV, paying 110 million yuan to Zhongtian TV every year. In addition, through office rental, the company will pay 200 million yuan to Zhongtian TV’s main shareholder, Shenwang, for investment every year. In other words, after deducting the advertising framework agreement, Zhongtian TV, which makes more than 100 million profit each year, will go from making money to losing money. Does Zhongtian TV, which is so reliant on subsidies from China, have no doubts about national security?
Furthermore, Qiu Xianzhi clarified that Zhongtian Asia Channel’s mysterious huge non-business income and expenses: You may not know that Zhongtian TV, in addition to Zhongtian News, Zhongtian Comprehensive and Zhongtian Entertainment, also has Zhongtian Asia Channel, broadcast exclusively in China , Singapore, Malaysia and other countries. Zhongtian Asia Channel is undoubtedly China’s main foreign propaganda channel. Over the years, the Taiwan Affairs Bureaux of various levels of government in China have cooperated with Zhongtian Asia Channel to produce Chinese outreach programs such as “Charming Oriental”. When filming shows, Zhongtian Asia Channel will also find reporters from Zhongtian News, China Times and other outlets to cooperate in interviews.
Qiu Xianzhi said that from 2014 to 2019, Zhongtian Asia Channel’s annual operating income was more than 150 million yuan, but there was larger non-operating income and non-operating expenses. Income was slightly higher than expenses, and the amount was more than 200 million. up and down. What type of business unit of a company has such stable income and non-operating expenses? Has this money been transferred from “Zhongtian Asia Channel” to “Zhongtian News Channel” through various advertising exchanges and business cooperation?
Qiu Xianzhi asked if the NCC, which has Zhongtian’s financial report in hand, has investigated the cash flow between “Zhongtian Asia Channel” and “Zhongtian News Channel.” Have you thoroughly investigated the national security concerns that may be caused by Zhongtian News’ united front model of “foreign orders and domestic production”? I hope the NCC members can clear up these issues during the photo change review in Zhongtian.
