Taiwanese officials have ordered a Chinese influencer who posted videos endorsing the idea of China occupying the island by force to leave the island within days or face deportation.
The unusual action was taken during a period of increased tensions across the Strait and growing skepticism about Chinese influence activities on the democratic island.
The influencer’s “behavior advocates the elimination of Taiwan’s sovereignty and is not tolerated in Taiwanese society,” according to Taiwan’s National Immigration Agency (NIA), which canceled her visa.
After marrying a Taiwanese man, the influencer—who authorities recognized by her last name, Liu—moved to Taiwan on a dependant visa from mainland China.
