In Taipei’s Daan Forest Park, electronic signboards outside the public restrooms display simplified Chinese characters, mystifying passersby. In response, the city government said the signboard was donated by the Friends of Daan Forest Park Foundation. The manufacturer wants to keep a low profile and is refusing to comment. Let’s find out more.

There are four electronic screens forming two walls with electronic signage outside the No.1 public toilet in Taipei’s Daan Forest Park. However, some people have discovered they are all displaying simplified Chinese characters.

Information displayed on the electronic signboards is in simplified Chinese characters and terms more commonly used in China. Some Taipei residents cannot accept this.

Member of the public
Of course not. This is Taiwan, so of course we use traditional Chinese characters.

The Taipei City Government’s approach is clearly about denial. It denies itself and affirms our enemy nation. Mayor Chiang Wan-an has disappointed the citizens of Taipei. Although I did not vote for him, I will not vote for him next time either. I think he has confused the values ​​of the entire Taiwanese people and made them unable to distinguish between friend and foe.

Programs from China Central Television were broadcast on a big screen outside the Taipei City Government after the New Years countdown. Six months later, Chinese content appeared again in a government-run site. Councilors have criticized this in the Taipei City Council.

Mayor, we want to investigate what system is being used. After all, many systems used in Taipei City may sometimes get inside the city government.

Are these screens and systems made in China? Or were they donated by a Chinese company? Anyhow, there are concerns about information security and Chinese capital. The city government’s Parks and Streets Light Office admitted that it has received complaints. However, they also said public toilets’ electronic signage and systems were donated by the Friends of Daan Forest Park Foundation and the city government did not take part in the procurement process. They have also asked the foundation to adjust the signage back to traditional Chinese characters as soon as possible. This reporter went to the site and encountered the manufacturer and a member of the foundation making an on-site inspection and entering a machine room to make adjustments. But as for the electronic signage, why did traditional Chinese characters change to simplified characters? The manufacturer wanted to keep a low profile and refused to comment, other than to say that as the electronic signs are exported to many countries, they already have built-in simplified Chinese characters.

Yen Juo-fang
Taipei City councilor (DPP)
Don’t we have park rangers? Didn’t they see this? Such a big screen and they never saw a thing? This should not appear. I am demanding that you supply us with an investigation within a week.

Taipei City Councilors are demanding that an investigation be completed within a week. The city government should not use the excuse of a private donation to shirk its responsibilities of oversight.
