Reply to comment by ShanghaiCycle in China taking ‘aggressive’ steps to gut Canada’s democracy, warns Trudeau by hugglenugget

Haha what a pile of nonsense and deceptions… I’ll just highlight one refutal from personal experience. You cheated by omission…

My Chinese wife needed to go to Taiwan last time she was in china and she could not as a PRC passport holder leave china to fly directly to Taiwan over a year before Covid. We had to go to another country and fly to Taiwan from there due to the Chinese dictatorships infantile totalitarian approach to things when it doesn’t get its way - stop the normal Chinese people from flying directly from china to Taiwan

Chinese citizens don't use their passport to fly to Taiwan, since neither side recognises eachother as a foreign country.

> All Mainland residents cannot travel to Taiwan on their passports when departing from Mainland China and must hold a Travel Permit to and from Taiwan (往來台灣通行證), colloquially known as Mainland Resident Travel Permit (大通證), issued by the Chinese authorities.

So the five times I was on a plane from China to Taiwan full of PRC citizens doesn't seem to match your girlfriend's experience.

If we are using anecdotes, my Indonesian friend was blacklisted from Taiwan and was given no reason.
