Taiwanese Opposition Blasts Public Broadcaster's Financial Performance, Funding Rate Reaches 90%.

Yesterday, the legislative party of the People's Party issued a statement criticizing the financial performance of the Public Television Service (PTS) and the online media outlet TaiwanPlus. According to the party, PTS's self-financing rate has been declining year by year, and the government's financial assistance rate has reached as high as 90% this year. This has raised concerns among the party, which believes that public media should be able to operate independently and raise funds to maintain its operations.

The party also pointed out that TaiwanPlus has incurred nearly NT$10 billion in expenses since its establishment, but has failed to effectively expand its audience in Europe and the United States. This has clearly disappointed the party, which believes that public media should be able to effectively utilize resources to achieve its intended goals. The party stated that the Ministry of Culture should provide a clear explanation of the financial situation and operations of public media in the face of parliamentary oversight.

This criticism has naturally touched on the financial management issues faced by public media. Public media are typically funded by government subsidies, but this also makes them vulnerable to government control and political interference. Public media should be able to operate independently and bear their own responsibilities, but in terms of financial management, they often face the problems of resource constraints and low management efficiency.

The party's concern about the increasing government subsidy rate has also been raised. According to the party, the government subsidy rate reached 90% this year, which means that the self-financing rate of public media has declined significantly. This has made the party worried, believing that public media should be able to operate independently and raise funds to maintain its operations. The increasing government subsidy rate has also made public media vulnerable to resource constraints and low management efficiency.

This criticism has also touched on the Ministry of Culture's management of public media. According to the party, the Ministry of Culture should provide a clear explanation of the financial situation and operations of public media. This means that the Ministry of Culture should be transparent in disclosing the financial information and operations of public media, allowing the legislative body and the public to understand the true situation of public media.

In the financial management of public media, the party's criticism has also raised questions about the management model of public media. According to the party, public media should be able to operate independently and bear their own responsibilities. However, in terms of financial management, public media often face the problems of resource constraints and low management efficiency. This has made the party concerned, believing that the management model of public media needs to be reformed.

Finally, the party's criticism has also touched on the issue of public media's ability to expand its audience. According to the party, TaiwanPlus has incurred nearly NT$10 billion in expenses since its establishment, but has failed to effectively expand its audience in Europe and the United States. This has clearly disappointed the party, which believes that public media should be able to effectively utilize resources to achieve its intended goals. The issue of public media's ability to expand its audience has also made the party concerned, believing that the management model of public media needs to be reformed.

In summary, the party's criticism has raised serious questions about the financial management and audience expansion of public media. Public media should be able to operate independently and bear their own responsibilities, raise funds to maintain their operations, and effectively utilize resources to achieve their intended goals. However, in terms of financial management, public media often face the problems of resource constraints and low management efficiency. The Ministry of Culture should be transparent in disclosing the financial information and operations of public media, allowing the legislative body and the public to understand the true situation of public media. The management model of public media needs to be reformed to address the issues of financial management and audience expansion.
