Taiwan regional travelers with so-called ‘passports’ denied entry to Uganda; mainland expert says separatist pursuits keep narrowing island’s international space_我的网站

Photo: XinhuaTravelers from the Taiwan region are being cautioned against traveling to Uganda after reports that several Taiwan residents had their travel documents issued by the Taiwan authorities seized or were denied entry in early August, amid a series of moves recently in Africa related to the one-China principle. A mainland expert noted that the more "Taiwan independence" forces seek international space, the narrower their room for maneuver will become.
According to Taiwan regional media outlet United Daily News (UDN) on Saturday, a Taiwan resident holding a valid Ugandan work permit had his so-called "passport" confiscated by Ugandan immigration officials on August 3 after arriving at Entebbe International Airport (EBB) on a domestic flight. The officials cited a "new policy" but have yet to return the "passport."
In a separate but similar incident, another Taiwan regional resident was also denied entry by Ugandan immigration officials at EBB and deported on the same flight, according to UDN.
The two incidents occurred at the same airport within a short period of time, with the authorities' actions escalating from the confiscation of travel documents to outright denial of entry and deportation, a travel agency was quoted by the report as saying.
The developments suggest that the measures being taken by Ugandan authorities may go beyond isolated incidents and could represent a systematic pattern of enforcement targeting people from the region, with signs that the situation is "continuing to escalate," per the report by UDN.
However, so-called Taiwan regional foreign affairs authorities stated that the relevant cases may be connected with the measure rolled out by the Taiwan region to temporarily suspend visa issuance to Ugandan nationals and bar their entry amid the worsening Ebola epidemic, according to Taiwan's local media CNA, adding it will keep negotiating with Uganda and offer support to impacted people.
Prior to this incident, several African countries had already adjusted their wording and entry policies concerning Taiwan region. According to a previous UDN report in July, on the registration page for South Africa's Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) system, Taiwan is listed as "Taiwan, China" in the dropdown menu for place of issue of travel documents. Similarly, the international dialing code +886 is marked "Taiwan, China" under the phone number section.
That same month, the Moroccan Embassy in Japan suspended its Visa Confirmation Letter (VCL) review process for travelers from Taiwan region starting July 23, while the regional authorities stopped accepting visa applications from Moroccan nationals in retaliation, according to CNA.
But some netizens from the island commented that they had "gotten used to this situation". One remarked, "It was Papua New Guinea a few days ago, and now Morocco again. Taiwan's foreign affairs department sure has an easier job these days."
After the government of Papua New Guinea announced the closure of the "Taipei Economic Office in Papua New Guinea," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian also said during a press conference on July 16 that China highly commends the decision and it demonstrates once again that upholding the one-China principle is where international public opinion trends and the arc of history bends.
Earlier in April, three African countries, Seychelles, Mauritius, and Madagascar revoked flight permit to cross their countries without prior warnings before regional leader Lai Ching-te's planned trip to Eswatini.
Zheng Jian, a professor at the Graduate Institute for Taiwan Studies at Xiamen University in East China's Fujian Province, told the Global Times that the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has pushed to internationalize the Taiwan question and expand "Taiwan independence" activities abroad, directly challenging the one-China principle widely upheld by the international community and provoking pushback.
International community, including African countries, would not choose to support "Taiwan independence" in their diplomatic decisions, and the more the separatists seek international space, the narrower their room for maneuver will become, the expert noted.
Against the backdrop of the one-China principle, attributing such entry restrictions solely to the Ebola-related policy would amount to misplaced wishful thinking, he said. In truth, DPP authorities should not ignore that all the setbacks Taiwan region faces internationally nowadays are brought about by "Taiwan independence" separatist activities, Zheng said.
A spokesperson from Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, Zhang Han, said during a press conference on July 22 that facts have proven time and again that the one-China principle is a basic norm governing international relations and a universal consensus among the international community.
"Upholding the one-China principle aligns with righteousness and represents the irresistible historical trend. A just cause gains wide support, whereas an unjust one garners little backing. The DPP authorities stubbornly adhere to their separatist 'Taiwan independence' stance. Acting against the tide of history, they will only encounter repeated setbacks internationally," Zhang added.
。它看起来有点适得其反,既不象高科技产品,也不象人们容易接受。来吧,这是CES。比国际象棋更吸引人的东西有一万种。

B | 工作人员展示了这种产品,称之为Square-off。你猜对了。是国际象棋。但令人惊讶的是,棋盘上的棋子可以自己移动,就像《哈利波特》中的巫师国际象棋。图片来源:哈利波特和哲人石,事实上,棋子是由下机械手控制,并由磁力移动。你可以和这个板上的任何人竞争。

C | 家人、朋友甚至陌生人都可以控制对方的棋局,只要他们与移动应用程序合作。图片来源:在广场后面,一个聪明的棋盘,是一个来自印度的团队。最初的想法是为视障人士制作一个象棋游戏,因为手机和电脑屏幕对他们来说太难使用,而在真正的棋盘上,他们可以打长途,甚至参加一些比赛。后来,Square-off把这个想法付诸实践,让更多的人享受象棋的原汁原味,而不是通过互联网。2016年,他们发起了一场关于Kickstarter的群众募捐活动,最终产生了“广场效应”。你可以随时在家里开始游戏。不在身边的家人和朋友通过移动应用程序控制棋子。这个棋盘和普通的棋盘似乎没有什么不同。真正的秘密就在于内部,操纵器控制磁头,拉动磁性棋盘移动。他们设计了一个程序来防止棋子互相碰撞。平方有很多用途。

D | 最简单的是一个人使用棋盘,对手使用移动应用控制,而不是周围的亲友在空中打架。他们还可以使用国际象棋服务,让不知名的网友也可以谈判国际象棋技能。更神奇的是与人工智能的较量,就像高洁与阿尔法的较量一样,你可以不断挑战自己的极限,训练技能,共有20种难度。Square-off不便宜,有369美元和449美元的版本。虽然你可以享受自动移动的魔力,但对大多数人来说,买一个普通的国际象棋可能更经济。从Square Off的广告中,他们对智能棋盘的定位也是粉丝们享受的礼物。
