Liu Zhenya incident

In 2025, Taiwanese YouTuber Pa Chiung and others reported that Liu Zhenya, a mainland Chinese spouse and internet celebrity in Taiwan, promoted Chinese unification by military means on her YouTube, Douyin and other social media channels. Taiwan's National Immigration Agency determined that Liu violated the Cross-Strait Act, and revoked her dependent residence permit in Taiwan and ordered her to leave Taiwan. This marked the first time Taiwan had expelled a mainland Chinese spouse. She was also restricted from reapplying for five years, becoming the first Chinese mainland spouse to be punished. At the same time, the National Immigration Agency launched an investigation into similar incidents and also punished two other cases of violations in March. Her deportation caused a controversy in Taiwan, with the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and its supporters arguing Liu's speech constituted a threat to national security and sovereignty, while the Kuomintang and the Taiwan People's Party (TPP) and their supporters arguing the action undermined freedom of speech in Taiwan.
