DPP breaking apart families for political gain

Actions of island's authorities in splitting up cross-Strait couples against human rights

Editor's note: The Taiwan question is a key focus for China and the international community. China Daily is publishing a series of reports to track hot Taiwan-related topics and address disinformation from the Democratic Progressive Party administration.

Chen Li-chun, a young artist from Taiwan, created a caricature to satirize the recent actions of Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party authorities in breaking up cross-Strait marriage families, which she views as a violation of human rights.

Liu Zhenya, a social media influencer from the mainland with nearly 500,000 followers on short video platform Douyin, who is also known as Ya Ya in Taiwan, was recently forced by the DPP authorities to leave the island. Liu and her husband, who was born in Taiwan, have three children.
