Return to Taiwan without extension of residence visa Return to Taiwan from Hong Kong's Taiwan office executives July 21 19:13
It turned out that executives of the Taiwanese government agency in Hong Kong were returning to Taiwan this month because they were not allowed to extend their stay visas locally. Taiwanese authorities have rallied for refusing to sign a document authorizing "one China."
The Continental Commission, which is responsible for China's policy with the Taiwanese authorities, told NHK that four people, including the executive officer of the Taiwanese authority's counter office in Hong Kong, applied for extension of their stay visas locally but were not approved. He said he had returned to Taiwan by then.
The Continental Commission said the visa was not extended because four people refused to sign a document recognizing the "one-China" principle that Taiwan is part of China. ..
It means that we have never been asked to sign these documents to extend our visa in Hong Kong.
As a countermeasure, the Continental Commission decided not to allow the extension of the stay visa of the person working at the Hong Kong window in Taipei, saying, "Hong Kong side has no political interference based on the consultation with Taiwan. Should be guaranteed."
Two years ago, a new top-level representative was selected for a contact agency in Hong Kong, but the visa has not been issued, and it has not been possible to be transferred.
The background that the Hong Kong authorities demanded to sign a document that recognizes "One China" is that the tightening by the Chinese authorities was further strengthened by the enforcement of the "Hong Kong National Security Maintenance Act". ..
