The YVR custom did it again.

LOL at the incorrect statement... Give up? So that mean a lot of people in Taiwan are holding "modified PRC passports" because they went to China before? How did they get back to Taiwan again?

Tell the rest of the world Taiwan's a real country. A real place of residence? Absolutely. Country? Hmm...so where's the Taiwanese consulate in Canada?

2008-925 West Georgia Street, Vancouver

World Exchange Plaza
45 O'Connor Street, Suite 1960, Ottawa

151 Yonge Street, Suite 501, Toronto

Also I think AE98 is being an idiot for parading with the Taiwanese media... Sure I was kinda pissed at first when I read the news. But come to think of it, its obvious the woman is going to play all damn innocent and pretending to be the victim. We only heard one side of the story and PEOPLE DONT GET DEPORTED BACK TO THEIR HOME COUNTRY FOR NO REASON. I mean how many fucking Taiwanese people go through YVR a year??? Tourists, students, immigrants... If there are several similar incidents like this without clear explanations then ok, there might be something wrong with the airport security procedures. So when was the last time something like this happened..?

So AE98 just STFU. Please. You are giving Taiwanese people a bad name with all your bitching. Just stop right there before this thread turns into a Taiwan-bashing session...

that's taipei's economic and cultural office..but they process things like passport there as well.
like i said, the name taiwan doesn't exist in western nations for reasons I've already explained.
china's gonna bitch and BC doesn't want to lose a major exporter over some small island.

I apologize, I had been talking with a twanger friend who's schooling in BJ. She had to acquire mainland travel papers before leaving and I was under the misapprehension she'd had to turn in her TW passport in order to get them. My bad.



That having been said, Taiwan still doesn't have a consulate here, it has a trade office.

Now, don't get me wrong, I support Taiwan's pseudoindependance; I have a great number of taiwanese friends and I think TW is doing a lot of things better than the mainland. Yes, most of the reason TW isn't acknowledged is because the Mainland has huge amounts of power...but there's not much you can do about it. And I agree, this is a total aside and is completely unrelated to what's going on here. But so is the overinflated sense of importance that seems to be being placed on Taiwan's importance in this issue.

This is one stupid retarded housewife who got booted for being suspicious and uncooperative (being given a translator and STILL not being able to give proper answers?) and who decided to call the media and whine about it. Oh, and one retardedly zealous twanger who decided that something hat happened to one retard was a giant affront to his place of origin and is trying to push his opinion on others.
