\nFEATURESCHINAHONG KONGSUNFLOWER MOVEMENT<\/p>\n

By J. Michael Cole June 25, 2014<\/p>\n

As the crisis in Hong Kong intensifies amid Occupy Central and Beijing\u2019s release of its White Paper on \u201cOne Country, Two Systems\u201d \u2014 which in many eyes was more a warning to the territory than a mere academic exercise \u2014 an increasing number of people are finding that they are not welcome to enter the Special Administrative Region. Earlier this week, three architects of the Sunflower Movement\u2019s occupation fell victim to that growing trend.<\/p>\n

The decision by Hong Kong authorities to turn back Republic of China citizens is not without precedent. In November 2013, Wu\u2019er Kaixi, one of the Tiananmen student leaders in 1989, was denied entry as he was attempting to enter China to be reunited with his parents, whom he had not seen in more than twenty years. After a brief detention, the Uighur, one of the \u201cmost wanted\u201d men in China, was sent back to Taiwan. Other individuals have also received similar treatment over the years as the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre approached. Most recently, Tseng Chien-yuan (\u66fe\u5efa\u5143), an associate professor of public administration at Chung Hua University in Hsinchu, was informed in late May that his Mainland Travel Permit for Taiwan Residents had been cancelled and was sent back to Taiwan. He was told so upon arriving in Hong Kong. (Since 2009, Hong Kong has granted holders of a Mainland Travel Permit for Taiwan Residents 30-day entry; individuals who do not own such a document must apply for an entry permit prior to their visit.)<\/p>\n

Tseng, a board member of the New School for Democracy (\u83ef\u4eba\u6c11\u4e3b\u66f8\u9662), was planning to attend an international seminar at City University in Hong Kong to mark the 25th anniversary of the Massacre. As June 4 approached, activists from abroad were also prevented from entering the territory. In the lead-up to the anniversary, Beijing had also detained several academics and journalists in China in an unprecedented crackdown that sparked criticism among China watchers and rights organizations.<\/p>\n
