Taiwanese authorities have expelled two Japanese nationals who appeared in a video filmed in a busy shopping district in Taipei holding a Chinese national flag and declaring that "Taiwan belongs to China." The two men, identified as social media influencer Tanaka Hiroyuki and host Todomi Aira, entered Taiwan without visas. In the video, posted on Chinese social media, they expressed strong pro-China sentiments, including statements such as "We love China very much" and "Taiwan is China's." Following the incident, Taiwan's immigration agency imposed deportation and re-entry bans on both individuals. This action reflects Taiwan's strict stance against activities perceived as undermining its sovereignty. The episode comes amid heightened sensitivities regarding Taiwan-China relations, with Taiwan also cautioning celebrities against supporting Beijing's military parade.
