In the latest case of intimidation from Beijing, this time in East Africa, a Hakka cuisine week in Mauritius organized by the Hakka Affairs Council has been canceled.
Since the event’s promotional materials contained Taiwan’s flag and the name “Republic of China,” China stepped in and made it clear that if the event’s organizers dared fly to the African island nation, they would be denied entry and sent back to Taiwan.
Beijing said its local embassy would even use its power to make sure that Taiwanese visitors are denied landing visas.

Hakka Affairs Deputy Minister Yiong Cong-ziin said that rather than removing the flag and Taiwan’s official name, they’ve decided to call off the event in protest of China’s meddling in the internal affairs of Mauritius.     [SOURCE]
