"Little Lai Qingde won" the middle school student was expelled. National Taiwan University: Respect the government's enforcement of laws and regulations

A Chinese student on exchange at National Taiwan University recently took advantage of President Lai Ching-te's attendance at an on-campus event to film a video of his fingers "pinching" his head, uploaded it to social media and wrote "Little Lai Ching-te takes it", which caused controversy. The Immigration Department said today that it has revoked his entry permit, deported him, and banned his application for permission to come to Taiwan within five years. National Taiwan University confirmed tonight that the student had left the country today.

National Taiwan University stated that this time the government enforced the law in accordance with the regulations and the school respects it. It hopes that after this incident, students can better understand that the exercise of freedom of speech should still take into account respect for others.

National Taiwan University pointed out that the student was an exchange student from an international sister school. After the incident occurred, the school upheld the stance of caring for students, accompanied the students to accept inquiries from relevant authorities, provided necessary assistance, and subsequently handled the matter in accordance with the law.

This incident occurred when the student took advantage of the shooting angle at the event to make a scene of pinching Lai Qingde's head from a distance with his fingers, and posted words on social media with words such as "unification" and "opposition to Taiwan independence". The Immigration Department determined that his behavior violated the principle of reciprocity and dignity and caused social disturbance, and he will be dealt with according to law.

Regarding the incident involving freedom of speech and communication, NTU emphasized that the school has always valued freedom of speech and is committed to maintaining an open, diverse and mutually respectful campus environment. The school respects different opinions and criticisms on public policies and government administration. It also believes that rational discussion and exchange of opinions are an important foundation for a democratic society.
