"Mr. Bao went to Treasure Island." Hu Ge went to Taiwan and was surrounded by a large number of media and fans in the airport lobby. The topic also appeared on Weibo's hot search list.

goes beyond politics and economics, and understands the major trends in Chinese politics and economics.

Mainland star Hu Ge recently visited Taiwan to participate in activities. Chen Binhua, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said that this will provide a rare exchange opportunity for young friends from both sides of the Taiwan Strait. "I think 'President Bao's visit to Treasure Island' is a good thing that compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait love to hear."

Hu Ge played the protagonist "A Bao" in the popular mainland TV series "Flowers" that was popular on both sides of the Taiwan Strait earlier this year. His nickname is "Mr. Bao".

Hu Ge’s last visit to Taiwan can be traced back to 2018, when he was invited to be a guest presenter at the Golden Horse Awards.

The exchange of visits and communication between celebrities from both sides of the Taiwan Strait is a great thing that greatly promotes cultural and economic exchanges between the two sides.

my country's Taiwan region has a population of 20 million and an area of ​​36,000 square kilometers. Regardless of population or area, it ranks relatively low among Chinese provinces, but Taiwan has a large number of performing arts practitioners.

According to statistics from the Taiwan Federation of Performing Arts Unions in 2022, the Taiwan Federation of Performing Arts Unions has a total of 24,522 members. If calculated in terms of popularity, the number of Taiwanese celebrities may be in the thousands.

Taiwan's small local market cannot accommodate many entertainers, so Taiwanese stars are following the trend of gold mining in mainland China.

The most famous celebrities in Taiwan, such as Jay Chou, Jolin Tsai, and Mayday, have their largest markets in the mainland.

The total size of mainland China’s entertainment market is expected to reach approximately US$434.7 billion in 2023, a year-on-year growth of approximately 6.1%. It is expected that by 2027, the total market size of the mainland will reach US$526.9 billion, becoming one of the largest entertainment markets in the world.

The total scale of Taiwan's entertainment industry is only 35 billion US dollars, less than one-tenth of the mainland market, and it is already saturated and growing slowly.

Only when the water is strong can the fish be strong, only Hollywood can produce global stars, and only the mainland market can provide top Chinese stars.

Ouyang Nana and Angela Chang participated in the July 1st Gala and Spring Festival Gala performances out of their attachment to mainland mothers, but also out of considerations of real economic interests and audience market.

The vast majority of Taiwanese artists developing in the mainland have made it clear that they support one China and cross-strait reunification, which is reasonable and in line with the general trend.

Now we are familiar with the older generation of Taiwanese artists Luo Dayou and Li Zongsheng, who have lived in Beijing and Shanghai for a long time. First, they are close to the market and convenient for work. Second, Beijing and Shanghai are developed and convenient, which greatly exceeds Taipei.

A unified entertainment market will promote cross-strait celebrity exchanges and ultimately promote the final reunification of the two sides.

That’s it for today’s program, focusing on super politics and economics, let’s gain insight into the current situation together.
