The Mainland Affairs Council said Taiwan does not welcome foreign nationals who intend to come and promote “one country, two systems” or unification by force. Today MAC Minister Chen Ming-tong said that such visitors undermined the sovereignty of the R.O.C. and would be banned from entry when necessary. He said the policy would be applied to refuse entry to pro-unification Chinese academic Li Yi, who was deported last week but who plans to visit again at the end of the month. Li was deported from Taiwan just last week, but he is reportedly already planning to return in late April to promote unification by force. Today the MAC minister said that the Chinese scholar was not welcome.Chen Ming-tongMAC ministerIn accordance with the policy directives the president issued yesterday, we will not welcome him into our borders. We will revoke his permit. This so-called pro-forceful unification advocacy group won’t come. Xi Jinping’s “one country, two systems” framework for Taiwan aims to eradicate the R.O.C.
