Taiwan on Monday deported a Japanese man and barred his re-entry after he and another compatriot filmed a video waving mainland China’s national flag and declaring “Taiwan belongs to China,” the island’s immigration agency said.

    Sorry Taiwan, we have morons in Japan too. I wish you could just drop the guy off in the middle of the ocean.

    That’s actually fucking stupid. Let people say what they want.

    Both sides are descending into mob rule, which is why both sides can go fuck themselves with a rake.

      No if he was Taiwanese, that would actually be treason. There’s an ongoing campaign by China in Taiwan not unlike what Russia did in USA to get Trump elected, and to get UK to vote Brexit.

      Taiwan absolutely needs to not allow Chinese propaganda that undermines Taiwan democracy.
      Hostile propaganda <> free speech.
