00:00A village warden in Taiwan says she will fight a government decision to remove her from office
00:05after she failed to give up her Chinese citizenship.
00:09The village warden, named Deng Wanhua, was elected in Hualing County in eastern Taiwan
00:13in 2022.
00:15She moved to the country in the late 90s after marrying a Taiwanese citizen and later received
00:19a national ID card.
00:21Taiwan's laws require elected officials to renounce any other foreign nationality before
00:25taking office.
00:26Deng told local media she was unable to give up her Chinese citizenship because China doesn't
00:31recognize Taiwanese nationality.
