"Xiaoming" cannot return to Taiwan because of discrimination! Many parents on the island knelt in the rain and cried with tears, the DPP authorities remained indifferent
[Global Times Special Correspondent Cheng Dong] The island’s epidemic has eased. The DPP authorities have conditionally opened foreigners and more than 2,000 cross-border students to enter, but the mainland’s “Xiao Ming” have been unable to reunite with their families in Taiwan. "China Times" bluntly said on the 5th that the issue of Taiwanese compatriots in Wuhan, "Xiaoming" returning to Taiwan, and even land students coming to school in Taiwan has long been irrelevant to epidemic prevention when the epidemic situation in Taiwan has slowed. It is completely a matter of discrimination. Almost funeral.
DPP tycoon comes forward to plead
"Xiaoming" mainly includes two types of people: First, Taiwanese children born in the mainland, the current system on the island is that children born to Taiwanese under the age of 12 can receive Taiwan ID cards at any time, if the child is 12 years old. To apply for an identity card, you must first take the project to stay for two years; the second type is the mainland children born in the marriage of the mainland spouse. They came to Taiwan with their father or mother remarrying, and lived and studied for many years; it takes about 8 to 10 years for this kind of "Xiao Ming" to apply for Taiwanese citizenship. According to the MAC, there are more than 2,000 "Xiao Ming" stranded on the mainland so far.
In response to "Xiao Ming"'s delay in going to Taiwan, Taiwan's "Executive Dean" Su Zhenchang said on the 5th that based on the protection of the health and safety of Taiwanese, he will make corresponding preparations based on the epidemic situation in various places. "Lianhe Daily" disclosed on the 5th that the MAC had proposed a "divided by age, stratified, and diverted" plan on July 1 to allow "Xiaoming" to return to Taiwan within three months in order to link up with the start of school in September, but The plan was rejected.
A few days ago, the parents of "Xiaoming" kneeled in front of the "Department of Disease Control" in the heavy rain, and wept with tears. The Kuomintang invited the parents of "Xiaoming" to talk about their separation from their families since the outbreak. Mrs. Huang, a mainland spouse, choked out that since the moment she was separated from her son, she was very sad. The son cried every day on the mainland, "Mum, I miss you so much, I miss my brother, I want to go home", which made her heartbroken. The Kuomintang called on the DPP authorities to stop discriminatory practices against the mainland and to open up "Xiaoming" people to return to Taiwan through project applications with humanitarian considerations, allowing hundreds of families to reunite for a long time. Hong Qichang, the leader of the DPP and former chairman of the Straits Foundation, also came forward to plead for "Xiaoming". He said that they have received a lot of Chenqing cases recently. They all settled and studied in Taiwan. They are not not Taiwanese. They are just quota restrictions and other processes have not been completed. Separated from family. Hong Qichang said that the epidemic situation is now different from February, and it is time to propose a phased, batch, regional, and age-free lifting plan, "I hope the Tsai government can handle it and solve the problem of Xiaoming’s homelessness as soon as possible. Dilemma".
Is it involved in cross-strait relations?
Taiwan's "Central Epidemic Epidemic Command Center" commander Chen Shizhong told the truth. He blurted out on the 4th that "the matter involves cross-strait relations and still needs the MAC's final assessment." Zhong Jinming, chairman of the "China Cross-Strait Marriage Coordination Promotion Association", said that the DPP authorities used to use the epidemic to prevent "Xiao Ming" from returning to Taiwan, but this time they mentioned cross-strait relations. Does this mean that they used to deceive us? He expressed regret and sadness about the political issues involved in the return of "Xiao Ming" to Taiwan. "The children are very innocent, and they push the hatred towards the children. How can it be that they are underage."
Other people related to the mainland also encountered discrimination. According to a news report from Lianhe News on the 4th, because the DPP authorities did not even open the “reunion application” for cross-strait marriages, the Taiwanese wife could only produce in Taiwan by herself, or the Taiwanese husband could take care of Lu’s wife in the mainland, but could not return. Taiwan is filial to its parents. Ruby and her husband from mainland China were engaged in Taiwan in October last year, then registered their marriage in mainland China, and then returned to Taiwan to apply for a residence permit. Originally, her husband expected to go to Taiwan on February 5 to register for marriage and to accompany her for childbirth. As a result of the epidemic, the island announced that mainlanders could not come to Taiwan after February 2. "Mum accompanied me to give birth in the end." She said that during the confinement period she saw other women accompanied by her husband and learned to take care of the children together. She was really in a low mood and wanted to cry. "China Times" also mentioned on the 5th that earlier this year, the DPP authorities made a note of the list of Taiwanese compatriots in Wuhan. Now even if the immigration control is lifted, if the reporters return to Taiwan, they will still be sent to the centralized quarantine office. Everyone is isolated at home. Mr. Zou, who intends to return to Taiwan recently, said that Wuhan has already conducted nucleic acid tests on the whole city and has been unblocked for 3 months. He hopes that he can take home isolation according to other immigrants and not be discriminated against.
Public opinion demands immediate opening in batches
"Yu Qing, Yu Li, and Yu Fa should let Xiao Ming go home," Chen Changwen, a law professor and a well-known Taiwan lawyer, wrote that no matter how solidarity is from all walks of life, the empathy of Su Zhenchang and Tsai Ing-wen cannot be awakened. A few days ago, the parents of "Xiaoming" Chen Qing, watching these parents hold high in the hot days, "The epidemic prevention continues, the love between the two places is so ruthless," "The president lifted the ban, and the children returned home safely", which made the author lament the epidemic. It has slowed down that business travelers in some regions can lift the ban. Recently, 2,238 overseas students have been opened to return to Taiwan. Why is it that the people of Taiwan have returned to Taiwan for reunion?
"China Times" said on the 5th that it will first discuss the issue of annotations by Taiwanese compatriots in Wuhan. Chen Shizhong promised to cancel the annotations within one month on May 8, but it has been two months so far and has not been cancelled. "Why not cancel? Administrative? If it is negligence, or if the virus encounters Taiwanese compatriots in Wuhan, can it stay for 60 days? This is not discrimination, what is discrimination?" Besides, "Xiaoming" cannot return to Taiwan. They put it bluntly, that is, Taiwanese who do not have Taiwanese citizenship and have been used to life in Taiwan since childhood. The article said that how to solve the problems of the Taiwanese compatriots in Wuhan, the "Xiaoming" and the return of Lu Sheng to Taiwan, and even more so, the few folk goodwill that exist on both sides of the strait.
