Taiwan regional travelers with so-called ‘passports’ denied entry to Uganda; mainland expert says separatist pursuits keep narrowing island’s international space_我的网站

Photo: XinhuaTravelers from the Taiwan region are being cautioned against traveling to Uganda after reports that several Taiwan residents had their travel documents issued by the Taiwan authorities seized or were denied entry in early August, amid a series of moves recently in Africa related to the one-China principle. A mainland expert noted that the more "Taiwan independence" forces seek international space, the narrower their room for maneuver will become.
According to Taiwan regional media outlet United Daily News (UDN) on Saturday, a Taiwan resident holding a valid Ugandan work permit had his so-called "passport" confiscated by Ugandan immigration officials on August 3 after arriving at Entebbe International Airport (EBB) on a domestic flight. The officials cited a "new policy" but have yet to return the "passport." 
In a separate but similar incident, another Taiwan regional resident was also denied entry by Ugandan immigration officials at EBB and deported on the same flight, according to UDN.
The two incidents occurred at the same airport within a short period of time, with the authorities' actions escalating from the confiscation of travel documents to outright denial of entry and deportation, a travel agency was quoted by the report as saying.
The developments suggest that the measures being taken by Ugandan authorities may go beyond isolated incidents and could represent a systematic pattern of enforcement targeting people from the region, with signs that the situation is "continuing to escalate," per the report by UDN.
However, so-called Taiwan regional foreign affairs authorities stated that the relevant cases may be connected with the measure rolled out by the Taiwan region to temporarily suspend visa issuance to Ugandan nationals and bar their entry amid the worsening Ebola epidemic, according to Taiwan's local media CNA, adding it will keep negotiating with Uganda and offer support to impacted people.
Prior to this incident, several African countries had already adjusted their wording and entry policies concerning Taiwan region. According to a previous UDN report in July, on the registration page for South Africa's Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) system, Taiwan is listed as "Taiwan, China" in the dropdown menu for place of issue of travel documents. Similarly, the international dialing code +886 is marked "Taiwan, China" under the phone number section.
That same month, the Moroccan Embassy in Japan suspended its Visa Confirmation Letter (VCL) review process for travelers from Taiwan region starting July 23, while the regional authorities stopped accepting visa applications from Moroccan nationals in retaliation, according to CNA.
But some netizens from the island commented that they had "gotten used to this situation". One remarked, "It was Papua New Guinea a few days ago, and now Morocco again. Taiwan's foreign affairs department sure has an easier job these days."
After the government of Papua New Guinea announced the closure of the "Taipei Economic Office in Papua New Guinea," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian also said during a press conference on July 16 that China highly commends the decision and it demonstrates once again that upholding the one-China principle is where international public opinion trends and the arc of history bends. 
Earlier in April, three African countries, Seychelles, Mauritius, and Madagascar revoked flight permit to cross their countries without prior warnings before regional leader Lai Ching-te's planned trip to Eswatini.
Zheng Jian, a professor at the Graduate Institute for Taiwan Studies at Xiamen University in East China's Fujian Province, told the Global Times that the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has pushed to internationalize the Taiwan question and expand "Taiwan independence" activities abroad, directly challenging the one-China principle widely upheld by the international community and provoking pushback.
International community, including African countries, would not choose to support "Taiwan independence" in their diplomatic decisions, and the more the separatists seek international space, the narrower their room for maneuver will become, the expert noted.
Against the backdrop of the one-China principle, attributing such entry restrictions solely to the Ebola-related policy would amount to misplaced wishful thinking, he said. In truth, DPP authorities should not ignore that all the setbacks Taiwan region faces internationally nowadays are brought about by "Taiwan independence" separatist activities, Zheng said.
A spokesperson from Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, Zhang Han, said during a press conference on July 22 that facts have proven time and again that the one-China principle is a basic norm governing international relations and a universal consensus among the international community. 
"Upholding the one-China principle aligns with righteousness and represents the irresistible historical trend. A just cause gains wide support, whereas an unjust one garners little backing. The DPP authorities stubbornly adhere to their separatist 'Taiwan independence' stance. Acting against the tide of history, they will only encounter repeated setbacks internationally," Zhang added.
。政策赋能是这场变革的核心推力。早在2024年7月，杭州城发物流投用全市首批新能源渣土车，其中一台甲醇清洁能源车型挂上“0000”号绿牌。截至目前，该企业已累计投放200台新能源渣土车，投放规模领跑全市。企业的底气来自实打实的政策红利——2025年1月起施行的相关支持政策明确，通过购置补贴和运营补贴，单车最高可申领21.2万元；此外，新能源渣土车享有早晚高峰通行权限，政府投资项目招投标将新能源车辆保有量纳入评审指标，多维度降低运营成本。“以前柴油车采购价在35万至40万元，新能源车型虽贵了约20万元，但补贴直接拉低了购置门槛。

B | ”杭州城发物流董事长曹献稳算了一笔账：油价高位时柴油车每公里成本超3元，甲醇车每公里仅需2.16元；路权开放更直接带动司机增收——传统柴油车日均最多跑3至4趟，新能源车不受限行约束，日均最高可跑6至7趟。绿色转型的红利，更直观体现在城市治理效能的升级上。如今的新能源渣土车配备六路监控，数据实时接入监管平台，超载、疲劳驾驶等立即自动触发预警；全密闭货箱彻底解决了渣土遗撒、扬尘扰民等问题，市民相关投诉量明显减少；甲醇清洁能源车型加注仅需5分钟，续航可达600公里，进一步提升车辆运维效率。

C | “以前见了渣土车就躲，现在这些绿牌车干干净净，沿途再也见不到扬尘了。”家住钱塘码头周边的市民感受十分真切。这场变革并不局限于渣土运输单一领域。目前杭州已构建起覆盖工程建设、环卫保洁、固废处置的完整低碳体系，新能源渣土车、环卫清扫车、生活垃圾清运车三类绿色作业车辆，已成为杭州街头的流动风景线——全市现有新能源环卫清扫车394台，占比15%；2026年3月投用的首批74台醇氢新能源生活垃圾清运车，较国六柴油车颗粒物（PM）排放下降98%、氮氧化物排放削减82%，且运行噪音更低。

D | 按照规划，2027年底杭州生活垃圾清洁运输比例将提升至80%。接下来，杭州城管部门将持续深化政策配套、完善补能基础设施，助力杭州打造绿色低碳发展新高地。市综合行政执法局供图。
