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. 。
C | 为何?如果真的,在那个层次和段位,能决定下游群众生活决策的人都是这种发自本真的想法,认为灵活就业是一种福利,很幸福,那么这对这3,2亿的灵活就业者来说,未来造就的苦难是致命的。
D | 本来一天干活200元,吃喝完,还能有一点余粮,但这个余粮是建立在你后面几天没有活的基础之上的。灵活就业者,一个很可怕的现实是什么?那就是朝不保夕,不稳定,今天可能赚200,但明天就可能颗粒无收,而你那些能决定决策的人,不能只看到灵活就业者的自由度,还要看到朝不保夕这一点。张丹丹教授这个概念如果被扶正,那么这个苦难附加在个体身上,将是沉重的。
E | 我在园区周边小镇生活,日常中几乎每天都会和“日结工”打交道。日结工今天京东物流那里分拣快递,工人做不完,那么找几十个日结工来做活,但这些临时的活一定是最累的。
F | 带班的小班长不会给这些可能做一天这一辈子都不会有交集的人一点怜悯,最大的箱子件一定是他们卸货,最脏的包装一定是他们分拣,而且因为是日结,那个时间会被压缩到极致,压缩到喝水的时间都没有。
G | 也是因为这个原因,临时失业的人们,干一天日结工,要休息两天才能缓过来。那么,问题来了,如果张丹丹教授们看不到这个苦难,只看到了自由度,未来这一块也要吸血,那么这个血吸得一定是残忍的,是哀嚎遍地,是一种人性最后的一丝泯灭。
H | 也所以,我不厌恶张丹丹,我昨天的文章虽然标题有点攻击性,但本质上我害怕的是更多的张丹丹们,而非只是她一人。也所以,我在看到教授这个发自本真的言论后,建议她们这些专家不妨走一走,不说像我这样如苦行僧一样到一个乡镇走上半天,与小镇各种不同的人攀谈,你那怕到县城的还算可以的宾馆,小酒店住两晚,凌晨到菜市场走一圈,中午到那些闲散的工人聚集地看一看,相信你们的思想就会有很大的改变,能切实的看到这本真的人间。谢谢!
