Taiwan to “accommodate” Hong Kong office operations in the “China” row | Chinese News

Taiwan says Hong Kong is urging Taiwanese officials to sign a “China Commitment Letter” to obtain work visas.

The Taiwanese government has said it will “adapt” the operations of the Hong Kong office after authorities there signed a document to sign a request made by Beijing officials in Beijing in accordance with Chinese policy.

The Chinese government has become another conflict between Hong Kong, Taipei and Beijing, especially after Taiwan denounced China’s security law imposed on Hong Kong and welcomed Hong Kong dissidents to the island.

In a statement on Sunday, Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council said that since July 2018, the Hong Kong government has “repeatedly imposed unreasonable political conditions on workers’ visas for our Hong Kong office, demanding the signing of a” single letter of commitment from China. “

This has prevented office staff from being there or taking their positions, he added.

“From June 21, the Hong Kong office will adapt the method of business management,” the council added, without giving details, but said the office will maintain “necessary operations”.

Taiwanese workers will not sign that “China only” letter, he added.

He sees China as democratically governed by Taiwan as part of “the only China” and has never refused to use force to subjugate the island.

Last month, Hong Kong suspended operations at the Taiwanese delegation office, accusing it of “gross” intervention in Taipei’s internal affairs, as well as offering to support the “violent” protests, which Taiwan rejected.

The Macau government continued on Wednesday, saying it would suspend operations at its representative office in Taiwan.
