After the mainland 3A game "Black Myth: Wukong" was launched on the 20th, it set off a global craze. Zhao Shaokang, former chairman of "China Broadcasting Corporation", said that the success of this game not only proves the progress of mainland game technology, but also can use culture to counterattack the Western world. "Taiwan has powerful software and hardware technology, why can't it do it?"

Zhao Shaokang posted on his personal social media account on the 23rd that "Black Myth: Wukong" has recently sparked discussions around the world, and players praised this 3A-level game for its technology that is not inferior to that of the United States and Japan, and it is fun to play. "Black Myth: Wukong" took 6 and a half years to plan, and the goal set at the beginning was to enter the top of the pyramid of the global game market. In the end, it was proved that everything depends on human efforts. The success of this game also led to the export of Eastern culture, which is a good thing.

Zhao Shaokang pointed out that the production cost of "Black Myth: Wukong" was about 2 billion New Taiwan dollars, but it paid back on the first day of its launch. However, the Taiwan authorities blocked the game on the grounds of "cybersecurity" and it must go through several months of review before it can be released. Players who are eager to try it out have to download it in Japan or Hong Kong, China. Not only does it cause trouble for players, but it also prevents Taiwan from making the money it should have made. This is another stupid policy dominated by ideology.

Zhao Shaokang said that in the past, the mainland's economy, trade, and military were all strong points, and there were few breakthroughs in culture. The success of "Black Myth: Wukong" not only proves the progress of mainland China's gaming technology, but also can use culture to counterattack the Western world. On the other hand, Taiwan has powerful software and hardware technology, so why can't it do it?

Zhao Shaokang finally said that the 2025 budget of the Taiwan authorities' cultural department, which was just announced recently, has increased by more than 10%. Together with the budget of the "Forward-looking Plan", the amount has exceeded 30 billion yuan for the first time. Since its establishment, the "Ministry of Digital Development" has not made any contributions. Look at others and think about yourself. Those in power must make good use of the people's tax money and abandon ideology in order to formulate correct industrial development policies.
