Great news! Two mainland students reported and forcibly deported, breakdown after being denied by the Immigration Agency; former CCTV anchor stays at Taoyuan Airport during Taipei election, slams Taiwanese for being heartless
The video focuses on two Chinese students who were reported, restricted from entry, or ordered to be investigated after posting comments related to Taiwan while in Taiwan, as well as former CCTV host Cheng Wanjun, who was repatriated to Thailand after seeking temporary protection at Taoyuan Airport. The narrator questions Cheng Wanjun's account of entry and alleged persecution, and relays his accusations of being injured during the repatriation process and treated roughly by Taiwan officials; both sides hold differing accounts of the events and whether Taiwan should provide protection. The video also mentions that the family of Chinese human rights lawyer Wang Xiahong was previously granted temporary settlement in Taiwan.

Over the past few days, two pro-CCP Chinese students came to Taiwan to run wild and cause trouble, resulting in them being deported and restricted from entry, plus a former CCTV host came to our Taiwan and harshly cursed out Taiwanese people after being deported. He even showed so-called evidence of being kidnapped and beaten by our Taiwan National Immigration Agency—is this really the truth?
Right now it is our Nine-in-One local elections, with domestic affairs in full swing and less than 20-odd days until the election battle, an insider from the CCP system jumped ship and came to Taiwan. Is he really seeking political asylum, or does he have ulterior motives? First off, let's talk about how one of the pro-CCP students came to Taiwan and ran wild.
His account name is "Durian-Eating Xiaoxiao Le Daren." During his studies in Hong Kong, taking advantage of the holidays, he came to Taipei for tourism. After returning to Guangdong, he posted on Xiaohongshu saying things like: coming to Taipei with the five-star red flag makes me so happy, and similar remarks, hoping to visit again in this lifetime. Well, a vast number of our netizens reported him to the National Immigration Agency, banning him from entering for at least 5 years.
Why did I find out about him? I'm not sitting around scrolling through that stuff all day, am I? It was a huge number of enthusiastic netizens who reported it to me. Even you people inside the Great Firewall search for these materials yourselves and report them to me. So sometimes don't go claiming that it's all just Green Birds making reports; no, very often it's you Chinese people inside the wall reporting to me. So I can only say, you're barred from entry for at least 5 years now, serves you right.
Next, following reports by many of us, this Little Pink female student officially deleted her account. As a result, this person played a double game. At the very same time, she had her first wave of friends and family come to explain and run interference, claiming that if you want to type Taipei or Taiwan on Xiaohongshu, you must add a five-star red flag or words like China, such as Chinese Taipei or Chinese Taiwan. Yet this girl actually loves Taiwan's democracy and freedom, and so on and so forth. Absolute bullshit.
On Xiaohongshu, loads of people post and can directly write Taipei or Taiwan without putting up a five-star red flag. Some people even write Taiwan and Taipei directly without putting up a five-star red flag, let alone having to write Chinese Taipei or Chinese Taiwan, and their posts still get published just fine.
Meanwhile, his second wave of friends and family circles has also started guiding the public opinion narrative, criticizing Taiwan and asking: Isn't Taiwan democratic and free? How can it not tolerate someone saying a word? Is it just like a literary Inquisition? Hey, you are a foreign visitor, not a citizen of this country. Doesn't the Gym Director [Guan Zhang] also lick the Chinese Communist Party every day? He can still freely travel to Xiamen to sell goods, he can still come to Taiwan to open a YouTube channel, and then curse Lai Ching-te every day, and he is still cursing right after he goes live. What happened to him?
Why does a millionaire influencer bully a Chinese amateur student? See? This is the two-faced tactic of the Communist bandits: on one hand, they send people to explain and whitewash, arousing the overly overflowing sympathy of some people; on the other hand, they reluctantly belittle Taiwan while avoiding any mention of the fact that he first completely disrespected the sovereignty of the Republic of China in Taiwan. The point is that we didn't force you to post anything; you chose to mention the Republic of China on Xiaohongshu, or you chose to support Taiwan independence as defined by the CCP. No, we didn't. Yet it turns out we are just as bad as the CCP, question mark?
If we look at it according to the framework and Constitution of the Republic of China, we are the ones being hit by you, and we are the vulnerable side. Since its founding, the CCP has continuously and uninterruptedly squeezed and eliminated the Republic of China's right to survive. Then you come to our only remaining territory, and you are still posting the five-star red flag, what the hell are you whining about there? So, this is just a little pink student provoking trouble and holding a double standard.
First of all, I am a common person, and you are a common person. And when I was wanted by the CCP state apparatus, facing imprisonment and a bounty, did you say anything? Did you say, "Oh, a great Communist Party with 90 million members targeting a Taiwanese common person with no official public power, the CCP is carrying out such political wanted orders, criminalizing speech, and sending someone to prison"? It wasn't just being deported when entering Beijing or Xiamen, unlike you. Does this comply with the principle of proportionality? There is even a 1 million bounty. You are just a brainless group of friends and family escorting her.
You are simply unrestricted from entering Taiwan, and it wasn't like you were arrested, sentenced, and imprisoned upon entering Taoyuan Airport for subverting the state power of the Republic of China—nothing of the sort. People who do not hold a Republic of China passport are permitted to enter our country, and you were allowed and invited in. Your words and actions regarding national sovereignty are naturally inferior to those of a citizen of this country.
The Gym Director can welcome the People's Liberation Army to Taiwan every day, and the pro-CCP Taiwan Province Xiao Yuan can also brazenly and boldly wave the five-star red flag and sing the red song about Mao Zedong at Taipei 101 or a Taoyuan night market. Were they imprisoned and subjected to exit bans? No.
South Korea is the same. As a tourist, you cannot participate in South Korean politics or join their protests. Go wave the North Korean flag on South Korean territory and try it out; see if you won't face deportation treatment. You might even get locked up for a while by the South Korean authorities for waving the North Korean flag locally—locked up for a few months before being deported. Taiwan has already been very merciful to you.
So do not use standards that your own country cannot accept to view another country, expecting to be given the same civil rights treatment as an overseas visitor. You don't even have civil rights treatment in your own country, and you don't dare to fight against the CCP yourself, yet you turn around to fight against Taiwan. Aren't you just bullying those without a gun? You bully the soft and fear the hard. Otherwise, why don't you get wanted by the CCP together with me, and then tell me that you also have a compassionate heart and embrace all rivers?
Another person, just like this female overseas student—I don't know if it's fortunate or what, but they both seem to be from Guangdong, right, as a Hong Kong international student? This person is similarly terrible, and their nature is even worse. Their account is called something like Magnetic Storm Chili's Ramblings.
She came to Taiwan and claimed that Taiwan is merely an administrative region of the People's Republic of China, and even happily explained and showed a screenshot of her Entry Permit for Taiwan, saying: Why would Taiwan Province give me an Entry Permit? Because Taiwan is part of our People's Republic of China, and so on. Is there something wrong with your logic? Why does your entry permit for Taiwan show the Republic of China and the Blue Sky with a White Sun flag?
If today a guest is permitted to enter your home, and then they keep saying inside your home that your house is their father's ancestral property and their grandfather's ancestral property, so they have the right of inheritance, and that you are part of their family, and they even place their own family's ancestral tablets in front of your ancestors' tablets, let me ask you: do you have the qualifications to make them get lost?
But then the twist came. I just went to check on this Little Pink who goes by the name 'Magnetic Chili' (Cibao Lajiao), and his account has been deleted. It shows how cowardly this person is. Did the National Immigration Agency actually deport him, or did they tacitly allow him to continue his 'tour' in Taiwan? Or perhaps he was just bluffing and never entered Taiwan at all? He probably wanted to enter Taiwan, so he quickly deleted the post. I hope the National Immigration Agency and government units will properly investigate this, because we, the public, do not have the authority to do so.
The highlight of the video comes at the end. A few days ago, a CCTV host named Cheng Wanjun, who talks about history and legal studies, jumped ship while transiting through Taiwan on a flight from Thailand to Beijing. He stayed at Taoyuan Airport and filmed a video, hoping the Taiwan government could help him stay for a short while to seek resettlement in a third country.
Unexpectedly, the next day, the Mainland Affairs Council and the National Immigration Agency decided to deport him. This caused many overseas Chinese to have a meltdown, cursing Taiwan for being just like the CCP, calling it disgusting, and saying Taiwanese people are a very selfish race. There is so much of this on Twitter. I even saw people saying things like: 'Taiwanese people want Taiwan independence and don't like the Republic of China, we know that, but you are stealing the flag and the title of the Republic of China to push for Taiwan independence. You don't have the ability to stage a revolution yourselves to overthrow the Republic of China that came from the mainland; you are just borrowing the shell to revive the soul,' and so on.
Although the language is unsightly, from the perspective of those who truly want to get rid of the Republic of China banner, it is very difficult to refute. Of course, the greatest common divisor right now is that the Republic of China equals Taiwan, but the true pro-independence stance hopes to break away from the Greater China framework and become the Republic of Taiwan or the Republic of Formosa, and so on. So, what is being discussed here are different levels; many people have no concept of these, but they are actually different concepts.
Alright, I know Taiwanese people are angry. I will clarify the suspicious points about his situation in a moment. Is he here to 'porcelain-touch' (scam/provoke)? Where might his mission lie? Let's first take a look at his confession video. Everyone, pay attention to two keywords in his video; I will explain them later. Let's start with his confession.
He said that in 2019, in a private setting, he was recorded and reported for calling Xi Jinping a 'king who lost his kingdom' (like King You of Zhou), and was sentenced to over five years in prison. After being released in 2025, he traveled back and forth between China and Thailand from time to time, looking for a way out. He also explained that he once tried to board a flight to Europe but was denied boarding.
Then I also discovered that his certificate of release states that he was sentenced to six years in 2021, and the reason for the crime was so-called 'illegal business operations.' Of course, many people would question: 'Weren't you sentenced in 2019? Why does it say 2021?' Well, in 2019, he was first arrested and imprisoned, and it wasn't until 2021 that the sentence was finalized. The detention time can be deducted from the six-year sentence, okay? Now, there is a key point in his reason for the crime: 'illegal business operations,' okay?
'You were clearly imprisoned for illegal business operations, not for speech-related crimes, so you are lying, and we won't grant you political asylum.' But for the CCP, 'illegal business operations' and 'picking quarrels and provoking trouble' are both 'pocket crimes' (catch-all charges). In other words, suppose he really did curse Xi Jinping, but there is no law that can sentence you for cursing Xi Jinping, right?
Because the CCP also claims to be a democratic country, it can't be like you cursing Lai Ching-te in Taiwan—'Lai Ching-te, step down! Lai Ching-te, you are a king who lost his kingdom!'—and get sentenced for it. Look, I'm saying it now and I won't be sentenced. So the CCP government will find 'illegal business operations' or 'picking quarrels and provoking trouble,' whichever one can be used to sentence you.
In fact, after verification by our relevant authorities, it was found that he could actually enter and leave China and Thailand quite freely. Because, you know, you can find records of which countries you have entered and exited, so it was discovered: why did you travel freely in and out of China multiple times between 2025 and 2026 after your release? So it is evident that the CCP was not looking for trouble with you, and it cannot be confirmed whether he was really sentenced to prison for cursing Xi Jinping.
Of course, it's impossible to ask him to provide proof, because he was reported by someone else, and he couldn't have been recording himself while cursing Xi Jinping, right? In the end, we in Taiwan just sent him back to Thailand.
Right, so he just expressed that, because he is going to publish his experiences from the 6 years he spent in prison, right? Once he gets out, people will know he is anti-CCP. Once it is known that he is anti-CCP, he will face cross-border repression by the CCP in Thailand, because there are indeed cases in Thailand, right? For example, there was an anti-CCP Chinese national with Swedish citizenship who, while vacationing in Thailand, was kidnapped by a criminal group bribed by the CCP, taken back to China to be sentenced, and even had his Chinese passport reissued for him, causing him to lose his Swedish passport. For the Swedish government, if the Chinese government sentences a Chinese person, I, the Swedish government, have no standing to point fingers. Look at how disgusting the CCP is.
Of course, these are all his claims, but from the perspective of us Taiwanese, first, jumping onto a plane to Taiwan at this point in time is very irrational. We are currently in the middle of local elections for mayors and county magistrates, the nine-in-one local elections. The current ruling party is indeed deliberately trying to downplay issues related to the CCP. Many such issues may have to wait until after the election to be brought back for discussion.
Why? To avoid opponents saying: "Look, during the election, you only know how to 'resist the CCP to protect Taiwan,' you only know how to 'resist China to protect Taiwan,' you don't know anything else." What do we need for our local governance? Are school lunches good? Is there fresh milk for students to drink? Is there milk to drink every day? Is there better transportation, childcare, women's rights, or job security, etc.?
Secondly, we Taiwanese have no obligation to help you. Of course, Americans and Japanese also have no obligation to help Taiwanese; I personally do not apply double standards here. Likewise, people helping us is a favor, not an obligation. And why don't you harshly criticize Europe and America for not letting you board the plane?
The point is, the point is that when he was deported back to Thailand, he harshly criticized Taiwanese for being heartless and unrighteous, just like the Communist bandits. If that were really the case, why not buy a plane ticket to let you return to your motherland? Why let you return to Thailand? When he returned to Thailand, he even posted photos of wounds on his hands and feet, saying what? That Taiwanese officials and civil servants beat and tortured him, and even confronted him, saying: "Your life or death has nothing to do with me." Let's take a look at this video.
Alright, we see this and we are very angry, I know. Let's calm down first, because I will use legal principles to slap his face later. He himself is from CCTV's legal channel, including being an expert on this history, right? That is to say, regarding the law, the laws of various countries, if he spends a little time doing his homework, his level of understanding is higher than us ordinary people, because he has this legal common sense, right?
And he also knows that Taiwan does not have a Refugee Act, and he also knows that on the road of being anti-CCP, he has only just begun to contribute a little bit, and has not yet reached that standard. He is eager to come to Europe and America or other countries to seek more political asylum, and he also knows that Thailand is not safe, right? Alright, so a question arises: he knows all this, and he must have studied it, so why does he still want to put on this show, this act where he knows he will be deported back to Thailand?
He wants the whole world to pay attention to him, to put all the anti-CCP momentum on him, to let them know he is an anti-CCP activist. So, it is equivalent to him sacrificing Taiwan in exchange for his safety in Thailand. And the UN office in Thailand sees it: you were even deported back by Taiwan, so we must protect you even more, we must accelerate your political asylum to, perhaps, Germany, perhaps the United States, or Canada; we must hurry to help you because Taiwan is so cruel and won't take you in. This is his goal.
So he sacrificed Taiwan's reputation. He knew Taiwan's laws, he couldn't provide more complete evidence of his anti-CCP activities, he knew he would be deported, yet he insisted on sacrificing Taiwan, and then belittled Taiwan to be the same as the CCP, in exchange for his safety in Thailand. So, I think it's just as well that the Taiwan government didn't let him in, as this kind of person can sacrifice other countries and other people for his own sake, and betray other countries.
Of course, the first time I saw this news, I also felt it was very exaggerated, but I read the government's statement, and the photos of the injuries he provided himself, because he resisted strongly and did not cooperate when he was deported, so he could only be forcibly dragged onto the plane. And these bruises and wounds were all caused by the dragging and the forced removal and pulling.
So why only his hands and feet? If our Taiwan government were really that bad, they should have hit your head with a police baton, they should have shocked your chest with a taser, hit your face; why only your hands and feet? Because they had to drag you.
And this incident also triggered Wang Zhian, who was also once at CCTV, but unlike him, was an outsourced, non-staff reporter, to also follow up and support this senior of his, a formally staffed CCTV host. How about this, Wang Zhian, hurry up and rescue him, find a way for him, live with him in Japan, and show your great love, philanthropy, and anti-CCP spirit.
The consensus in Taiwanese civil society is that the Chinese people themselves must wage a larger-scale resistance before we have the willingness to help, rather than expecting a free ride and dragging Taiwan into trouble just to trade for UN attention. Doesn't this actions only deepen the suspicion of whether all fleeing Chinese people are on a mission or trying to cause trouble? This poses a huge danger to future Chinese people who genuinely need asylum, and you are the ones who caused it.
The Taiwanese government screens applicants rather than applying a blanket approach. To give an example, also in early September this year, human rights lawyer Wang Xiaohong, along with her child, a family of three, jumped ship and arrived in Taiwan. Our Mainland Affairs Council agreed to their temporary settlement and will arrange for entry into a third country. They have indeed made a huge contribution to democracy and freedom, having suffered persecution in Beijing for many years. She defended a Chinese church and faced suppression and asset liquidation; many people did not dare to associate with them and marginalized them. Eventually, she flew from Japan to Singapore, transferring via Taiwan, and jumped ship.
So why do we Taiwanese people have no resentment toward her? No doubts about her? Why did we provide her with a channel for temporary settlement in another country, while you were not given one? Of course, what you should be railing against is the CCP. The CCP is also the one that caused you to be exiled overseas. Having to bear the difficulty of self-proof is all caused by them.
When our Taiwanese government law enforcement officers carry out duties, they use body-worn cameras, which can also be released to debunk him. He was just acting like a giant baby there, refusing to move while being dragged away by force, which is why you had to use force to drag him onto the plane. And he said that even the CCP wouldn't dare beat him like that, but Taiwanese people dare. Here is the question: when you were arrested and imprisoned by the CCP, did you resist like this in Taiwan? Did you? Or did you obediently cooperate? Well, no problem there. So do not substitute concepts.
Next is this section he mentioned, that Taiwan's international status deserves our current approach, meaning that we do not have much international support and are unrecognized because we brought it upon ourselves, since we also treat those in need of help this way. I have no excuse to refute this point. But when we Taiwanese people face a third country that might cooperate with the CCP's suppression, we point the finger more at its source, which is the People's Republic of China, the Chinese Communist Party. But what about you?
Wasn't your flight also a problem created by the CCP? So is it reasonable for you to shift this problem onto the Taiwanese people to bear? Finally, you said you wanted to create a true Chinese society, and so on, why don't you mobilize the people in that system and conscientious Chinese people you know to rebel together and get the Chinese people onto the streets? What about all that messy social security, the economic downturn, why don't you go protest? If you really achieve that, then come seek asylum and help from us anti-communist people. I believe that once you have done it but ultimately failed, I am sure all of us would be very willing to help you.
Just like the day the CCP truly blockades Taiwan or goes crazy and wants to attack Taiwan, if the Taiwanese people do not resist and spend all day hoping that Americans will quickly come save me or Japanese will quickly come save me, I would find it humiliating just looking at it myself, and I would feel very sad. Defending one's own homeland is something one must put the greatest effort into first, and then you think of ways to see if there are any mutual benefits to persuade other foreign governments, or use the angle of sympathy to persuade civilians of other countries to come out and lobby their governments, to come out and protest, hoping to help Taiwan.
Otherwise, do you think France helped America fight the Revolutionary War unconditionally? Do you think the Americans first got the French to agree to join the war before they had the nerve to declare the start of the Revolutionary War with Britain? Total giant baby, putting the cart before the horse.
Hello everyone, I am Cheng Wanjun, former executive editor-in-chief of the magazine Law and Life, and chief lecturer of the CCTV Legal Lecture column. I am now publicly speaking out at Taoyuan International Airport in Taipei to seek help. In 2019, because I commented on a doomed monarch during a unit routine meeting, I was recorded and reported, leading to directives from CCP leaders for a thorough investigation. The entire unit was purged, and I personally experienced up to six years of imprisonment.
In 2025, I completed my prison sentence and was released, and was forced into exile overseas in order to publish my prison writings. I have now been accepted by the UNHCR office in Thailand as a high-risk priority case, but the office simultaneously stated that it cannot guarantee my personal safety while I wait in Thailand past my visa for resettlement. Given that my prison confessions have already been published in overseas media, in order to avoid a second round of political persecution by the CCP authorities, I have no choice but to transfer to Taiwan to seek short-term humanitarian protection and assistance with resettlement in a third country, so that I can continue my creative work and speak freely for the rest of my life.
To end the autocratic man-made disaster of China as a public hazard to the world as soon as possible, and to allow the mainland and Taiwan to share the big family of the free world, I will contribute my own modest strength. Thank you everyone.
Hello everyone, I am Cheng Wanjun, and I have just come out of the Thailand Emergency Center. Late last night, the Taiwan National Immigration Agency launched a sudden raid on me and forcibly deported me to Thailand. Throughout the entire process, their methods were barbaric and cruel, causing serious harm to my limbs and my physical and mental well-being.
I do not regret being unable to stay in Taiwan, but I am indignant at the loss of basic humanity and human rights, and the severe trampling of human rights, displayed by the officials of Taiwan's relevant departments throughout this incident. Officials from the Immigration Agency repeatedly claimed in front of me: "Your life or death has nothing to do with us." The Mainland Affairs Council made judgments without examining the materials, and the Border Affairs Corps tied me up, beat me, covered my head, gagged my mouth, and bound my wrists during the deportation mission. Such vicious acts did not even happen when the Chinese Communist Party persecuted me.
This trip to Taiwan has made me see the hypocritical, selfish, and cold-blooded nature of a democratic society. When mainlanders strive for freedom, life and death have nothing to do with them, and how are their defenders of freedom worthy of any solidarity from the international community? In the coming years, I will continue to speak out for freedom, democracy, and justice, and unite and help one another with people who love and strive for freedom, contributing my part to creating a truly free ideal Chinese society and a beacon of human rights in Asia. Thank you everyone.
