Notes from Central Taiwan: The Yaya in Taiwan case: free speech at stake?
=========================================================================
In 2020, a labor attache from the Philippines in Taipei sent a letter to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs demanding that a Filipina worker accused of ācyber-libelā against then-president Rodrigo Duterte be deported. A press release from the Philippines office from the attache accused the woman of āusing several social media accountsā to ādiscredit and malign the President and destabilize the government.ā The attache also claimed that the woman had broken Taiwanās laws. The government responded that she had broken no laws, and that all foreign workers were treated the same as Taiwan citizens and that ātheir rights are protected, including freedom of speech.ā Last week the government announced that the National Immigration Agency (NIA) would revoke the spouse-based residence permit of social media influencer Liu Zhenya (åęÆäŗ), a national of the Peopleās Republic of China (PRC), who is married to a local. This became a major news story, even making the international media. The NIA investigated reports that Liu advocated annexing Taiwan to the PRC through military force in videos posted on social media, including Douyin (where she has 400,000 followers), YouTube and TikTok. On all three, her account name is Yaya in Taiwan (äŗäŗåØå°ē£). The NIA press release said that Liuās residence permit will be revoked in accordance with Article 14 of the Measures for the Permission of Family-based Residence, Long-term Residence and Settlement of People from the Mainland Area in the Taiwan Area (大éøå°åäŗŗę°åØå°ē£å°åä¾č¦Ŗå±

The NIA said that her calls for military force against the people of Taiwan violate the Act Governing Relations Between the People of the Taiwan Area and the Mainland Area (čŗē£å°åč大éøå°åäŗŗę°éäæę¢ä¾). Liu thus violated specific rules that govern PRC citizens. She will be barred from re-applying for residence within the next five years.

Taiwan in Time: The Taiwanese traditional opera singer that struck pop gold
===========================================================================
March 16 to March 22 In just a year, Liu Ching-hsiang (åęø
é¦) went from Taiwanese opera performer to arguably Taiwanās first pop superstar, pumping out hits that captivated the Japanese colony under the moniker Chun-chun (ē“ē“). Last weekās Taiwan in Time explored how the Hoklo (commonly known as Taiwanese) theme song for the Chinese silent movie The Peach Girl (ę”č±ę³£č”čØ) unexpectedly became the first smash hit after the filmās Taipei premiere in March 1932, in part due to aggressive promotion on the streets. Seeing an opportunity, Columbia Recordsā (affiliated with the US entity) Taiwan director Shojiro Kashino asked Liu, who had been recording opera tunes for the company since 1929, to perform the song as a part of a batch of āpop musicā releases under a new stage name, catapulting her to island-wide recognition. Her popularity soared after she recorded the theme songs for the movies Repentance (ęŗę) and A Wise Mother (å”éč³¢ęÆ). Meanwhile, the record company and movie promoters worked together, regularly having Chun-chun perform live at screenings. As Columbia Records solidified its position as Taiwanās top hitmaker, Chun-chun was its most prolific artist, her voice appearing on 97 out of 250 recordings made during the 1930s, according to music history researcher Huang Yu-yuan (é»č£å
). Many are still instantly recognizable today ā but none more than the legendary Longing for the Spring Breeze (ęę„é¢Ø), which conveyed the conflicting emotions of a young girl yearning to experience her first love. Unfortunately, her stardom was cut short as the Japanese authorities clamped down on Taiwanese culture and the entertainment industry in 1940 due to World War II. She died three years later at the age of 29, succumbing to tuberculosis that she contracted from her late husband. OPERATIC BEGINNINGS Chun-chun was born in 1914, the only daughter of a couple who ran a
