Taiwan said seven employees of its trade office in Hong Kong left the financial hub on Sunday after authorities there demanded they sign a pledge recognizing China’s sovereignty over the self-ruled island. | AFP

“China and Hong Kong government use the ‘one China pledge’ to set up barriers and affect the rotation of staff and normal operations of our office in Hong Kong,” Taiwan’s MAC said in a statement on Sunday.

Chiu said that the pledge Hong Kong demanded staff sign also included a promise not to “interfere with Hong Kong’s affairs, nor to do or say anything that undermines Hong Kong’s stability and prosperity or that embarrasses the Hong Kong government”. Macau followed in shutting its office last Wednesday, saying it was having trouble getting visas for staff.
