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 |          Advertise with us          据悉,已有警察表示要罢工,但警察罢工又是非法的,所以他们准备消极怠工、不开罚单、不加班……                    01          加薪方案谈了约一年          据报道,新西兰警察协会(Police Association),也就是警察工会组织,与政府谈判了约一年。         去年9月,上届工党政府提出方案是从2023年4月起,涨薪4000纽币,然后自2024年4月起再涨薪4%。         但这个方案没有让警察协会接受,双方继续谈,一直谈到新政府上台。         上周五,新政府给出方案:          在2023年11月的基础上,加薪5000纽币,津贴增加 5.25%(不回溯至 7 月 1 日)。         从2024年9月1日起工资进一步上涨4%,津贴增加4%(推迟,从2024年7月1日起不再生效)          然后从2025年7月起,最终工资上涨4%,津贴增加4%。         另外还有用报销费用代替所有餐费和杂费,将现有45天的休假累积减少至35天。

D |                    02          警察们很生气          这个方案出来,把警察协会给气炸了。

E |          新西兰警察协会主席Chris Cahill(下图)表示,经过数月的努力,竟然谈出这样的提议,对警方来说,简直是“一记重击”、“滑稽”、“不尊重”和“绝对是一个笑话”。

F |          图片来源:NZME          Cahill表示,在消防员、护士和教师加薪后,警察们也耐心等待了几个月,才得到一份报价。         他说这个方案实际上要低于他们去年9月拒绝的那份。         Cahill说,政府“严厉打击犯罪”的立场意味着警察的工作要求更高。

G |          “然而,他们故意不回溯因政府程序推迟的薪酬,从而侮辱了这些警官。

H | ”          “6年后的护士或社会工作者的收入都会比警察多 22,000纽币。

I | ”          “没有人认为护士工资过高,那为什么我们的警察工资过低呢?当警察达到最高工资水平时,他们的收入将比护士少 24 万纽币。”          Cahill说,政府要想兑现两年内再招募 500 名警官的承诺,就需要确保警官不会为了更好的薪酬和条件而离开。

J |          他还表示,许多警察面临着极大的财务压力,导致无力支付租金或抵押贷款,有人还求助于食品包裹。         ”何况还有许多警察还感受到了隔壁澳大利亚的诱惑。

K | ”          Cahill说,警察人员每年通常都会有约 5% 的员工流失,他预计未来几个月离职人数会激增,要么移居海外,要么转向其他职业。         据介绍,警察协会已接到大量抗议信。         一位在北岛担任侦探、已在警队工作了十多年的警官表示,他听到政府给的方案很生气。         他说,同事们正在考虑搬到澳大利亚。         他说,在职警察中现在有传言称,警官们将拒绝加班,拒绝执行政府打击帮派的新举措,或拒绝开出停车罚单,以限制政府的收入。         警察协会呼吁警察们在未来几天提供反馈,并计划下周与警察管理层会面。         Cahill表示:“这次会议的结果对于决定我们下一步的行动至关重要。”                    03          警察部长:政府很穷          警察部长Mark Mitchell对此回应,政府正面临严峻的经济状况。         图片来源:NZ Herald          “我们百分百支持并认可我们所有的警察,他们为我们做了出色的工作。但作为新上任的政府,我们的财务状况十分严峻。我们希望开始改善我们国家的经济前景,”他说。         “我们站在他们(警察)一边。

L | 我们百分百支持他们。

M | 我们正在尽力而为。”          政府坚称不会违背招募更多警察的承诺。         昨天,总理Christopher Luxon在电视AM 节目中,为政府的薪酬提议进行了辩护。         他说:“我们正在做的是确保为警察提供更多工具并为他们提供支持,我们已经看到,在我们的帮派立法、上周提交议会的非法枪支立法以及我们针对青少年所做的工作方面,我们都做到了这一点。”          “所以警方知道他们将得到本届政府的支持,以应对我们在全国各地看到的暴力和青少年犯罪。”          总理否认了警察协会关于联合政府的薪酬与工党提供的薪酬相同的说法。

N |          Luxon说:“我不同意,警方已经提出了一项增强的提议,这也是他们与警察协会合作解决的一个问题。”          原文链接          相关阅读:          警方的这些员工强烈要求加薪,不满意就也要罢工?          更高的薪水,免费的住房,比新西兰警察待遇好太多,澳大利亚来抢人才了!          澳洲来新西兰挖人,警察部长表示不太担心,工会笑不出来…          天气更好,起薪翻倍,还给搬家费!澳洲警方大打广告,招聘新西兰的警察啦!          年薪2倍!免费住房!澳洲抢走新西兰护士后,又要抢他们……          注:本文为编译/原创,欢迎转发分享;但严禁复制等未经授权的非法使用。违反上述声明者,本网将追究其相关法律责任。使用授权请联系[email protected]。         chineseherald.co.nz All Rights Reserved 版权所有          (责编:twinkle)          来源 - 先驱自媒          相关内容                前绿党议员对所有入店行窃指控认罪           奥克兰海湾发现神秘尸袋!打开冒出一只人手!           极地冷空气涌入,今年迄今最冷的周末来了!           Chlöe Swarbrick的崛起之路:她是如何成长为绿党新任联合党魁的?           又一起!5人持械抢劫奥克兰一家加油站,员工被威胁           LATAM航班高空惊魂:飞机剧烈晃动,乘客被抛向空中,有人浑身是血           更新:一架飞往奥克兰的航班约50人受伤!           疫情通报:过去一周新西兰新增4803例。
