Chinese banned from Taiwan over online postsBy Lee Wen-hsin and Jonathan Chin / Staff reporter, with staff writer and CNAThe National Immigration Agency has banned two Chinese from returning to Taiwan, after they published social media content it described as disrespectful to national sovereignty. Stills from videos posted on social media by Chinese influencer Dada show her using the phrase “Chinese Taiwan / Taipei” while traveling in Taiwan. Liang repeatedly called the nation “Chinese Taiwan” in his videos recorded during the trip and added a People’s Republic of China flag on a map of Taiwan tracking his journey, the agency said. Yang, who uses the handle Dada (噠噠) on Chinese social media, also visited Taiwan from Thailand and published content on her account. The influencer could be heard announcing to a Taiwanese store clerk that she was a Chinese national traveling to the Chinese territory of Taiwan, not a foreign visitor.
