The Taiwanese government warned Chinese not to say anything that would be harmful to the autonomous status of Taiwan or undermine its sovereignty.

A Chinese couple accused of disrupting a pro-democracy event in Taipei organized by Hong Kong residents has been deported, the National Immigration Agency said in a statement yesterday afternoon.

A Chinese man, surnamed Yao (姚), and his wife were escorted by immigration officials to Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, where they boarded a flight to China before noon yesterday, the agency said.

              Every country does. “We are doing this because you have our people!” sounds way better than “we are doing this and fuck your questions”. Safer to let them go than to fuel the fire and create an “international incident” out of two complete jackasses that aren’t really worth anything.
