Mainland actors denied Taiwan entry (Xinhua) Updated: 2006-03-10 09:43 Two Chinese mainland actors
have been denied entry by the Taiwan authorities for "security" reasons, while a
local TV station in Taipei began screening their drama serial "Young Emperor
Jiaqing" Thursday.
Zhang Guoli and his son Zhang Mo performed in the drama, which tells inside
stories of the imperial family of China's last feudalQing Dynasty (1644-1911).
The denial of entry of the mainland actors has drawn criticism from the
people of Taiwan and the mainland.
"It is quite absurd," said the elder Zhang. He questioned how the Taiwan
authorities could believe that mainland actors might threaten Taiwan's
security.
