On November 11, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference. A reporter asked a question: Recently, mainland short dramas have been warmly sought after by viewers on the island. Related skit apps have been on the download rankings of many apps on the island, and related topics have sparked widespread discussion on social platforms. Any comments on this please? Taiwan Affairs Office Spokesman Zhang Han: I noticed that many Taiwanese netizens said that chasing mainland short dramas on the way to work and talking about mainland short dramas in their spare time has become a way of life and entertainment. Whether it's relaxing in an intertwined storyline or gaining knowledge from an all-encompassing subject, they all reflect the emotional resonance of compatriots on both sides of the Strait, especially young people on both sides of the Strait. The size of the mini short drama market in mainland China continues to grow rapidly, and micro short dramas are rapidly developing in terms of technical form, subject matter, and content creation. According to statistics, a total of 33,000 short dramas were broadcast in mainland China in 2025, and 430,000 short dramas were released from January to August 2026, 13 times that of 2025; the number of short drama users reached 850 million, with more than 600 million monthly active users. The related market size exceeded 100 billion yuan, and a large number of good works were enjoyed by the audience. We welcome and support more Taiwanese entrepreneurs to participate in the creation of short dramas in mainland China. Businesses from both sides of the Strait will deepen exchanges and work together to launch more outstanding film and television cultural works to create more memories of the times and enjoyment of light and film for viewers on both sides of the Strait.
