TAINAN, Taiwan - Kitty Wong and Adolf Lim are tightening the screws on their future in Taiwan as they make the final touches to a hostel in the southern city of Tainan, that they hope will open its doors to holiday-makers next month.
“The level of evil that you are dealing with is too high, I just see no way out,” Yim says, talking about how the Chinese Communist Party is clamping down on freedom in his home town. Many of the Hong Kong people ask about the possibility of gaining citizenship in Taiwan as investors. There were about 400 such immigrants to Taiwan in the first four months of 2019, a 40% jump from a year ago.
“I’m worried that I have been engaging in some behaviors that, although they are legal in Taiwan and don’t go against the law, might be seen as violations of the law in mainland China and that there might come a day when I travel on a plane with a layover in Hong Kong or go back to Hong Kong to see my parents, that I might be arrested at the airport,” he said.
The influx of mainlanders into Hong Kong was the main reason that drove Joe Ching, an entrepreneur in the logistics sector who still has operations in Hong Kong, across the Taiwan Strait to find a future for his family of three.
