Retweeting Chinese official media articles at sensitive moments: Zhang Linghe and Liu Yuning’s dreams of coming to Taiwan to meet their fans are shattered

Zhang Linghe's role as "Marquis of Wu'an" Xie Zheng in the hit Chinese drama "Chasing Jade" sparked a craze for watching the drama.

After playing the role of "Marquis of Wu'an" Xie Zheng in the hit Chinese drama "Jade", Zhang Linghe quickly became a top actor with his slender figure of 190 centimeters and outstanding costume temperament. In addition, Liu Yuning, whose popularity has skyrocketed with "Break Down", also has many fans in Taiwan. Previously, organizers had wanted to invite the two handsome men to Taiwan for a meeting. As the countdown to the nine-in-one election entered, Chinese state media published political statements at a sensitive moment, and Zhang Linghe and Liu Yuning reposted them one after another, making the journey to Taiwan even more uncertain.

China's official media "Xinhua News Agency" published an article stating that "the land cannot be divided, the country cannot be chaotic, the nation cannot be dispersed, and the civilization cannot be broken." Zhang Linghe, Liu Yuning and others retweeted the article and echoed that "this is a common belief that is always engraved in the bones of all Chinese people," sparking controversy among netizens.

Liu Yuning, whose popularity soared with "Break Down", also has many fans in Taiwan.

On the 21st of last month, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council revealed that Zhang Linghe originally wanted to come to Taiwan to meet fans in late October, but his application was rejected by Taiwan. The Mainland Affairs Council also confirmed this, emphasizing that Taiwan welcomes Chinese artists to come to Taiwan for exchanges, but it must not be accompanied by a united front. Since Zhang Linghe had posted many times on social platforms to disparage my country's status and participated in a "Strait Forum" speech with a united front tone, and the purpose of his application to come to Taiwan was not clear enough, permission was not granted.

Now Zhang Linghe and Liu Yuning have retweeted the article "The Land Is Indivisible" to express their stance, making the outside world believe that the possibility of the two coming to Taiwan to hold a meeting in the short term is even lower.
