Is it a two-nation theory for Chinese tourists to sign "non-affiliation with each other" when they come to Taiwan? Qiu Chuizheng: Do not underestimate Taiwan

A Chinese tourist published an article and broke the news that because the word "Taiwan, China" was written on the hotel reservation form, the Taiwan government asked the Taiwanese government to provide a new reservation form that "removed the dwarfing" text. Do you have any doubts about the "two nation theory" when people in the blue camp question mutual non-subordination? Chairman of the Mainland Affairs Council Qiu Chuizheng said in an interview at the Legislative Yuan today that the policy remains unchanged. Anyone who applies to visit Taiwan must not underestimate Taiwan's sovereignty. If there is any violation, of course they will be denied entry in accordance with the law.

This Chinese netizen posted a screenshot of the system review of the Immigration Department of the Ministry of the Interior on Threads, revealing that when he applied online for the "Entry Permit for People Living Overseas Mainland Areas to Visit Taiwan for Tourism", he was asked to provide additional documents. He had to write "Respect Taiwan as a sovereign and independent country, and the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are not affiliated with each other" and sign it before uploading it.

The Immigration Department asked this netizen to remove the word "Taiwan, China" that belittles my country on the hotel reservation form and then replace it. It also asked the netizen to write "respect Taiwan as a sovereign and independent country, and Taiwan and China are not affiliated with each other." "Sign and date and upload later."

When Lan Ying questioned this approach, Qiu Chuizheng pointed out that yesterday the Director of Immigration also said that it was purely a matter of poor communication on a case-by-case basis. Next time they deal with such matters, they will also pay attention to communication issues.

Qiu Chuizheng emphasized that "the policy remains unchanged." Anyone who applies to visit Taiwan must comply with cross-strait regulations and the licensing regulations for Chinese visitors to Taiwan, and must not undermine Taiwan's sovereignty or violate the principle of reciprocity and dignity. If you violate it, you will certainly not be allowed entry according to the law. However, I just mentioned that this is just a case-by-case communication issue and has nothing to do with the overall case.
