The Beishan Broadcasting Wall (traditional Chinese: 北山播音牆; simplified Chinese: 北山播音墙; pinyin: Běishān Bòyīn Qiáng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Pak-soaⁿ Pò-im-chhiûⁿ) is a propaganda loudspeaker in Jinning Township, Kinmen, Republic of China.
The structure was built in 1967 as a physiological Cross-Strait warfare instrument directed towards Mainland China.[1][2] Material such as songs by Taiwanese singer Teresa Teng and speeches inviting enemy soldiers to defect were played through the loudspeakers. Retaliatory speakers also broadcast messages from the other side of the Strait.[3] It was used until late 1970s.[4]
