Chinese women in taiwan are worried..!? Why?

Chinese women in taiwan are worried. 12,000 to divorce their husbands. The lives of thousands of Chinese women living in taiwan are currently under pressure. A legal rule has put their future in question. If they do not submit the necessary documents within three months, they will have to lose their legal residence in Taiwan. In some cases, this situation can lead to separation from their husbands. Nearly 12,000 women of Chinese descent are fighting to preserve their family and identity. Taiwan’s National Immigration Agency has ordered Chinese spouses who have not yet verified their Chinese citizenship ‘household registration’ to submit a certified copy of it within three months. Failure to do so will result in their Taiwanese citizenship being revoked.
The rule came into effect in 2004. However, many women said they had never seriously considered it as they had been living in taiwan with their husbands and children for years. Now, the government’s sudden request for documents and setting a deadline has left them feeling scared and confused. The severity of the problem is evidenced by the fact that The Straits Exchange Foundation is currently facing thousands of calls and visits. Many women have gone straight to the service center after being unable to reach them by phone. The foundation has since had to hire additional staff. It has had to share the detailed process on its website. The biggest concern for these women is that the documents they need to provide to the Taiwanese government must be prepared and certified in China. This process is long. Not only is it complicated, but it is also subject to delays due to political complications. Many women say that this three-month period is too short, and if the process cannot be completed, they will be separated from their husbands and families. Questions are also being raised about the government's action. Many social organizations and human rights activists have described it as a violation of women's rights. They say that it is not only unfair but also wrong from a humanitarian point of view to suddenly throw women who have been living in taiwan for a long time and have established families into such legal entanglements.

Overall, these 12,000 Chinese wives living in taiwan are currently under severe stress. They are not only worried about their citizenship but also about their families, children, and the stability of their lives. Whether the government will do anything about this in the coming days will determine the future of thousands of women.
