Hong Kong demands Taiwan officials sign 'one China' document for visa renewal

The one-China policy is explicitly designed to be ambiguous about who controls this China, which lets the PRC pretend they control Taiwan and Taiwan pretend they control the mainland: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;One-China_policy" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;One-China_policy</a><p>So on the face of it, being asked to agree to this should not be objectionable to a Taiwanese official. Is the content of the doc they&#x27;re being asked to sign available anywhere? Because it sounds like the devil is in the details here.

&gt; The source declined to say exactly how many Taiwan officials were asked to sign the paper but said its acting chief, Kao Ming-tsun, had returned to the island late on Thursday after he refused to sign the document upon his visa renewal.<p>Good on Kao.

There is a reason why these types of governments overtime descend into chaos. It&#x27;s not the exception it is the rules. The western world is just getting a refresher course on what that looks like.

Maybe Taiwan should make chinese sign a seperate country document for visa renewals.

Seriously china’s obsession with Taiwan is absurd, they’re a separate country, get the fuck over it.

I would have thought the visa itself is de facto recognition that they are separate countries.
