China's economic recession has prompted men to fake marriages and come to Taiwan to make a living. Statistics from the Immigration Department show that the number of people has hit a record high in recent years.

China's economy will be severely affected from 2021 to 2022. Housing prices in first-tier areas in Guangzhou are still uninterested at a 30% discount, and top university graduates are unemployed. According to data from the Immigration Department, 1,508 Chinese men have applied to come to Taiwan in the name of marriage since 2023, a record high in the past 19 years. Ashun from Guangzhou and Awen from Fujian each paid high agency fees to come to Taiwan to work. They had to pay a capitation fee and turn over part of their income. Although they were able to express their freedom of speech, their economic conditions did not improve. Officials from the Immigration Department pointed out that false marriage reports involving civil servants and the Cross-Strait People's Relations Regulations reflect that China's economic downturn is far beyond the imagination of the outside world, and will continue to follow up and investigate to reduce concerns about national security and social order.

Guangxi will continue to rely on the canal to deepen China-ASEAN all-round cooperation.

Controversy over the name of the Taiwan Pavilion at the Gwangju Biennale: From removing "Taiwan" to restoring the original name, Chinese artists withdrew from the exhibition

When Taiwanese artist Zheng Tingting participated in the Gwangju Biennale in South Korea, he discovered that the name "Taiwan" on the poster had been changed to "NTMoFA" without prior notice. After consultation, the name "Taiwan Pavilion" was restored, but Chinese artists withdrew from the exhibition. The incident highlighted China's pressure and self-censorship on international art and cultural activities. The Gwangju Biennale Foundation denied political censorship, and the mayor of Gwangju emphasized that the art field should not be subject to political interference. This incident continues the controversy over Taiwan's name in recent years on international occasions. For example, last year, South Korea's electronic immigration card listed Taiwan as "China (Taiwan)".
