According to Taiwan's Central News Agency (CNA), a Chinese woman surnamed Liu used the name "A A in Taiwan" on social media platforms to post comments opposing Taiwan.
Taiwan's immigration authorities revoked her family reunion residence permit in Taiwan in accordance with the law and prohibited her from reapplying for five years. The penalty decision was issued on March 15, requiring her to leave Taiwan within 10 days and exit the country by March 25.
On March 20, she submitted an appeal to Taiwan's Ministry of the Interior and the appellate authority to request a temporary suspension of the penalty. However, the Taipei High Administrative Court ruled that she had promoted war propaganda against Taiwan and decided to dismiss the case on the evening of March 22. She still has the right to appeal.
According to Liberty Times, in addition to A A, two other Chinese women, Xiao Wei and En Yi, who married Taiwanese citizens, were also summoned by Taiwan’s Immigration Agency. They had frequently posted videos and statements supporting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in its efforts to unify Taiwan by force.
On March 21, Taiwan's Immigration Agency summoned the two individuals, revoked their residence permits, and restricted them from applying for family-based residency for five years. They were also required to leave Taiwan within the specified timeframe and would be forcibly deported if they exceeded the deadline.
The article also noted that Xiao Wei and En Yi had large followings on Douyin in mainland China and had posted content such as:
"Taiwan’s streets are filled with five-star red flags."
"The People's Liberation Army’s military exercises demonstrate strong military power and firmly uphold national sovereignty."
"Taiwan is an inseparable part of China."
They also made other statements advocating for the CCP’s military action to eliminate Taiwan’s sovereignty.
According to a video posted on March 24, Xiao Wei and En Yi went live together online to attract attention. Xiao Wei even shouted, "I was deported from Taiwan because of my patriotism, and I feel very happy! My sacrifice is completely worthwhile."
Both declared that they would return to mainland China together and continue live streaming upon their return.
A post on platform X questioned: "Are they too arrogant? Should they be deported? Three women from mainland China who married Taiwanese citizens (including A A) have repeatedly called for the CCP to use force to unify Taiwan, expressing their desire to return to their beloved homeland."
The revocation of the residence permits of A A, Xiao Wei, and En Yi was welcomed by Taiwanese netizens but did not receive support from mainland Chinese netizens. Instead, they were mocked.
According to a viral video on March 23, a mainland Chinese woman accused them of profiting from controversy. She said, "This only creates division rather than bringing the two sides of the Taiwan Strait closer together."
A man questioned, "Some mainland Chinese brides in Taiwan keep posting videos criticizing Taiwan. If they think Taiwan is so bad, why did they marry and live there?"
Another man mocked, "They constantly talk about patriotism, but in reality, they don’t want to return home. Are they saying one thing and doing another?"
A young man joked, "A A praised life in mainland China so much, so she shouldn’t feel sad when she returns. After all, ‘the domestic situation is very good now,’ with an annual economic growth rate of 6%, and the government claims that over 99% of food meets safety standards."
He added, "A A, come back, let’s build China together. She should bring her husband and family along so we can all experience the good life."
A post on platform X stated: "A major reversal! A A and Xiao Wei have gained fame in mainland China, but not for patriotism—rather, they have become a laughingstock among mainland netizens!"
Netizens continued to post satirical videos about them. Some Douyin comments mocked, "Xiao Wei is already 41 years old. She previously claimed she would return to the mainland to marry and have three children. What happens now?"
X users actively discussed: "Internet celebrities in China can be hit by the ‘iron fist’ at any time. Having a large following is a double-edged sword, especially for those who exploit patriotism—it can backfire at any moment."
"Just wait, maybe one day the Chinese authorities will crack down on them too, and then they will truly understand what pain is!"
