The Play China Didn’t Want Strasbourg to See
When China’s consulate pressured a French theater to cancel the Taiwanese production “This Is Not an Embassy,” it proved the play’s point more vividly than any performance could.
The Liaoning Provincial Taiwan Affairs Office (遼寧省人民政府台灣事務辦公室) is a provincial government agency responsible for coordinating cross-strait exchanges and implementing propaganda activities in line with Chinese Communist Party objectives regarding Taiwan. Established as part of the broader Taiwan Affairs Office network that was created in 1988 under the leadership of the CCP’s Central Committee and State Council, the local office manages all Taiwan-related policies, including personnel exchanges, seminars, and international visits.
