A recent decision by Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities has ignited a heated debate over legality and human rights. A mainland expert on Taiwan studies claims that expelling Chinese mainland spouses lacks legal basis and infringes on basic human rights.
Among those affected is influencer Yaya, who was ordered to leave Taiwan following online remarks about cross-Strait relations. The DPP authorities accused her of advocating reunification by force, a charge that has left her separated from her husband and three children. This incident has raised concerns about the broader implications for other Chinese mainland spouses residing in Taiwan.
The case is prompting many to question whether such expulsions could set a precedent for actions that impact family unity and freedom of expression in a digital age. As discussions heat up, the story serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between national security measures and individual rights. ⚖️
