Not Welcome

February 23, 2016;

The Taiwanese authorities have told Tibetan Government-in-Exile leader Lobsang Sangay, and Uighur activist Rebiya Kadeer, not to apply for visas to visit Taiwan “to avoid angering China”. They planned to attend a forum on religious freedom being held in Taipei and attended by 99 participants from 26 countries. This comes one month after new Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen was elected because of her “independence from China” stance.
