Mainland Affairs Council head Chiu Chui-cheng says about 50 people have lost
their "Taiwan status" because they were confirmed to hold household
registrations in China or have obtained Chinese passports.

Chiu says household registration agencies have been notified to revoke the
household registrations of the 50 individuals after evidence of their holding
China-related documents was confirmed.

The cases were reported by members of the public and confirmed through
investigations or discovered by relevant authorities.

Chiu pointed out that the Act Governing Relations between the People of the
Taiwan Area and the Mainland Area "clearly stipulates" that "people of the
Taiwan Area may not have household registrations in the Mainland Area or hold
passports issued by the Mainland Area."

However, he is not saying what could happen to those to have their household
registration revoked.

The Lai administration has repeatedly warned that violators of the Act
Governing Relations between the People of the Taiwan Area and the Mainland
Area will have their Taiwan household registration revoked.
