00:00The culture ministry says it will consult with the relevant stakeholders on whether to revoke government subsidies for Taiwan's highest
00:07-grossing movie.
00:08That's following controversy over how the film has been promoted in China.
00:12The prison drama Sunshine Women's Choir has come under fire after a post on Chinese social media platform Weibo referred
00:20to Taiwan as China's Taiwan region.
00:23The film received more than half a million U.S. dollars in subsidies from the culture ministry.
00:28This has led to criticism of Taiwanese taxpayer money being used in ways that could be seen to undermine Taiwan's
00:35sovereignty.
00:35The culture minister said the government will work with filmmakers on how best to navigate the Chinese market.
