Chinese Exchange Student Deported from Taiwan for TikTok Video
REPORTER:
A 19-year-old exchange student from China has been deported from Taiwan for making a TikTok video.
After an investigation in accordance with the law and in consultation with the Ministry of Education and the Mainland Affairs Council, the National Immigration Agency rules that the student violated the principle of parity.
In the video, the student makes derisive gestures at Taiwan President Lai Ching-te while he gives a speech. The caption also contained language opposing Taiwan's independence and sovereignty. Comments under the video called for harm against Lai. According to Taiwan's laws, Chinese nationals here may be deported for undermining the country’s sovereignty or national dignity.
