Kinmen (Quemoy) Loudspeaker
Biggest Loudspeaker Box of the World
The island
Kinmen
belongs to the Republic of China, Taiwan and is just 2 kms away from the
coast of The People's Republic of China. From 1949 even until the midst
of the 70th the troops of the People's Republic of China repeatedly
bombed Kinmen.
During those years both nationalist and communist China were engaged in
a psychological warfare with tremendous loudspeakers. On the island of
Kinmen exists the rest of a wall of 6 x 8 big loudspeakers which
transmitted propaganda to the opposing coast.
A Taiwan TV News Report on YouTube gives you an idea how the
facilities
looked like and how it worked.
