The future of a mainland Chinese film that advocates for the reunification of Taiwan has become uncertain amid a wave of nationalist criticism.
The Belief recounts how, in 1683, Emperor Kangxi of the Qing dynasty instructed Admiral Shi Lang of the Fujian navy to lead a decisive campaign that resulted in the Qing victory over the Kingdom of Tungning in Taiwan, a polity that identified itself as part of the then‑overthrown Ming dynasty.
The Battle of Penghu concluded with Taiwan’s incorporation into the Qing realm.
The movie’s central theme — bringing a self‑governing Taiwan under Beijing’s jurisdiction — appears to reflect current official policy, suggesting early state endorsement.
One of the film’s co‑producers is the propaganda department of Fujian’s provincial Communist Party committee, according to government records.
