Background: The “Going Westward” Phenomenon

The trend of Taiwanese entertainers “going westward to develop,” often expressing support for unification wiht China, has ignited frequent debate across the Taiwan Strait. This has led to increased scrutiny of these individuals and their ties to Taiwan.

The Rumor: Nationality Revocation and Entry Ban

A video circulating online claimed that Huang An,a veteran artist frequently enough criticized for his pro-China views,had his Taiwanese nationality canceled and was banned from entering Taiwan due to his alleged promotion of military unification. The video asserted, Taiwan announced the cancellation of his nationality! Deprived of Taiwan’s civil rights! Entry into Taiwan is permanently prohibited!

MAC’s Response: claims of Forgery and Investigation

The Mainland Affairs Council refuted these claims, stating that the video’s content was false and untrue, deliberately forged. The MAC emphasized that the government operates according to the law and is actively investigating artists who cooperate with the Chinese Communist Party’s agenda.

The MAC further clarified that relevant artists cooperated with the CCP’s words and deeds and are being investigated and dealt with in accordance with the law. The council condemned the video as maliciously edited and fabricated by people with ambitions, intending to undermine the people’s trust in the government, provoke internal emotions in Taiwan society, and undermine the democratic mechanism. Thay urged the public not to believe or share the misinformation.

ongoing Investigation

The MAC confirmed that they received multiple reports earlier in the year concerning Huang An’s citizenship status in mainland China. The relevant agency received many reports from the public at the beginning of this year that artist Huang An established a citizen in mainland China, and the case is currently under investigation and punishment by the competent authority.

Public Reaction
