Taiwan Strips Pro-China Influencer of Visa Amid Rising Tensions

Taiwan's immigration authorities have issued a deportation order for a Chinese influencer supporting Beijing's stance on Taiwan.


In a significant move reflecting the increasing tensions between Taiwan and China, Taiwanese authorities have revoked the visa of prominent pro-Beijing influencer Liu, also known as Yaya, compelling her to leave the island by March 24. The National Immigration Agency (NIA) attributed its decision to her advocacy for China's claim over Taiwan, which is viewed as a serious challenge to Taiwan's sovereignty. Liu, who relocated to Taiwan on a dependent visa, has amassed a considerable following on social media by posting videos that frame Taiwan as a mere province of China. Her rhetoric has ignited backlash from Taiwanese officials, who emphasize that freedom of speech does not permit promoting the invasion of the island. This development underscores Taiwan's heightened scrutiny of Chinese expatriates and the ongoing concerns regarding Beijing's influence on the democratic island.

Taiwan's National Immigration Agency cited Liu's videos advocating for the annexation of Taiwan by China, raising alarms about the propagation of Chinese narratives. As geopolitical tensions simmer, Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te's administration is reinforcing measures to guard against incursions that might sow discord within Taiwan's society.
