Former CCTV host seeking asylum in Taiwan deported to Thailand
Posted on 2026-11-04 19:07:13
A Chinese national who sought asylum in Taiwan after arriving at Taoyuan
International Airport has been deported to Thailand.

The National Immigration Agency says Cheng Wanjun (程萬軍) was sent back early
today after authorities determined he was not eligible to seek asylum because
he lacked valid entry documents and had not provided concrete evidence to
support his claims.

Cheng identified himself as a former host at China Central Television and
said he had been jailed for criticizing China's leadership before going into
exile.

He also claimed the U-N refugee agency in Thailand had classified his case as
high risk and could not guarantee his safety.

The N-I-A says Cheng was provided with food and a place to rest while his
case was reviewed.

However, he sustained injuries while resisting attempts to board the flight
back to Thailand.
