One of two Chinese nationals facing forcible deportation after advocating
China's "military unification" with Taiwan has left the country from Taipei's
Songshan Airport.

Known by her online moniker En Qi on the Chinese social media platform
Douyin, the influencer boarded a flight to Chengdu that took off at around
6.30 last night.

Her departure came just hours before she faced forcible deportation
proceedings.

Another Chinese national known by her Douyin alias Xiao Wei was also expected
to leave Taiwan on Monday, but did not show up at the airport in time to
board the last flight of the day to China.

The National Immigration Agency earlier revoked both of their family-based
residence permits and ordered them to leave the country over posts they made
on their social media accounts that advocated for China to annex Taiwan using
military force.

Both woman's residences had been based on their marriages to Taiwanese
citizens.

They denied they supported "military unification" and filed separate appeals
against their deportation orders.
