Photo: XinhuaTravelers from the Taiwan region are being cautioned against traveling to Uganda after reports that several Taiwan residents had their travel documents issued by the Taiwan authorities seized or were denied entry in early August, amid a series of moves recently in Africa related to the one-China principle. A mainland expert noted that the more "Taiwan independence" forces seek international space, the narrower their room for maneuver will become.
According to Taiwan regional media outlet United Daily News (UDN) on Saturday, a Taiwan resident holding a valid Ugandan work permit had his so-called "passport" confiscated by Ugandan immigration officials on August 3 after arriving at Entebbe International Airport (EBB) on a domestic flight. The officials cited a "new policy" but have yet to return the "passport."
In a separate but similar incident, another Taiwan regional resident was also denied entry by Ugandan immigration officials at EBB and deported on the same flight, according to UDN.
The two incidents occurred at the same airport within a short period of time, with the authorities' actions escalating from the confiscation of travel documents to outright denial of entry and deportation, a travel agency was quoted by the report as saying.
The developments suggest that the measures being taken by Ugandan authorities may go beyond isolated incidents and could represent a systematic pattern of enforcement targeting people from the region, with signs that the situation is "continuing to escalate," per the report by UDN.
However, so-called Taiwan regional foreign affairs authorities stated that the relevant cases may be connected with the measure rolled out by the Taiwan region to temporarily suspend visa issuance to Ugandan nationals and bar their entry amid the worsening Ebola epidemic, according to Taiwan's local media CNA, adding it will keep negotiating with Uganda and offer support to impacted people.
Prior to this incident, several African countries had already adjusted their wording and entry policies concerning Taiwan region. According to a previous UDN report in July, on the registration page for South Africa's Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) system, Taiwan is listed as "Taiwan, China" in the dropdown menu for place of issue of travel documents. Similarly, the international dialing code +886 is marked "Taiwan, China" under the phone number section.
That same month, the Moroccan Embassy in Japan suspended its Visa Confirmation Letter (VCL) review process for travelers from Taiwan region starting July 23, while the regional authorities stopped accepting visa applications from Moroccan nationals in retaliation, according to CNA.
But some netizens from the island commented that they had "gotten used to this situation". One remarked, "It was Papua New Guinea a few days ago, and now Morocco again. Taiwan's foreign affairs department sure has an easier job these days."
After the government of Papua New Guinea announced the closure of the "Taipei Economic Office in Papua New Guinea," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian also said during a press conference on July 16 that China highly commends the decision and it demonstrates once again that upholding the one-China principle is where international public opinion trends and the arc of history bends.
Earlier in April, three African countries, Seychelles, Mauritius, and Madagascar revoked flight permit to cross their countries without prior warnings before regional leader Lai Ching-te's planned trip to Eswatini.
Zheng Jian, a professor at the Graduate Institute for Taiwan Studies at Xiamen University in East China's Fujian Province, told the Global Times that the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has pushed to internationalize the Taiwan question and expand "Taiwan independence" activities abroad, directly challenging the one-China principle widely upheld by the international community and provoking pushback.
International community, including African countries, would not choose to support "Taiwan independence" in their diplomatic decisions, and the more the separatists seek international space, the narrower their room for maneuver will become, the expert noted.
Against the backdrop of the one-China principle, attributing such entry restrictions solely to the Ebola-related policy would amount to misplaced wishful thinking, he said. In truth, DPP authorities should not ignore that all the setbacks Taiwan region faces internationally nowadays are brought about by "Taiwan independence" separatist activities, Zheng said.
A spokesperson from Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, Zhang Han, said during a press conference on July 22 that facts have proven time and again that the one-China principle is a basic norm governing international relations and a universal consensus among the international community.
"Upholding the one-China principle aligns with righteousness and represents the irresistible historical trend. A just cause gains wide support, whereas an unjust one garners little backing. The DPP authorities stubbornly adhere to their separatist 'Taiwan independence' stance. Acting against the tide of history, they will only encounter repeated setbacks internationally," Zhang added.
。在此之前,马斯克曾多次将Cybercab和Robotaxi服务定位为特斯拉未来营收和利润的重要来源。

B | 特斯拉官宣 8月22日,特斯拉在社交平台上宣布,将于当地时间9月3日在得克萨斯州奥斯汀举行Cybercab发布活动。 特斯拉Cybercab是一款完全为自动驾驶而生的纯电动双座轿车,也是其无人驾驶出租车(Robotaxi)业务的首款专属车型。 据介绍,这款车没有方向盘、后视镜,也没有刹车踏板,其前排仅剩一块中控屏用于交互,是特斯拉专为其自动驾驶叫车服务Robotaxi打造的首款专用车型,也完全依赖特斯拉的FSD(全自动驾驶)系统来驾驶。 这一设计的核心含义是:一旦自动驾驶系统遇到问题,车内没有人类驾驶员可以接管。特斯拉表示,公司配备了远程操作员,可在紧急情况下介入监控并接管车辆。 据The Information此前报道,特斯拉计划分两步推进:先在公共道路上向员工提供Cybercab乘车服务,数天后再正式向公众开放。 特斯拉的目标是将Cybercab的售价控制在3万美元以下。

C | 据其介绍,Cybercab的能耗表现也很突出,每英里用电成本远低于Model 3,旨在为大规模车队运营打下成本基础。 目前特斯拉Robotaxi服务主要使用Model Y车型,今年1月22日已在奥斯汀启动无人监督的全自动驾驶运营,6月3日完成全市范围无安全员服务全覆盖,6月22日面向公众开放付费搭乘。 马斯克近日宣布特斯拉奥斯汀Robotaxi取消车内安全员过去7个月后,有迹象表明,当地的Robotaxi服务终于全面进入真正的无人驾驶阶段。 Robotaxi Tracker创建者伊森·麦卡纳透露,过去两周,网站监测到的奥斯汀170次特斯拉Robotaxi行程全部都没有车内安全员,共涉及54辆汽车。类似变化也出现在达拉斯和休斯敦等其他城市,在过去一周内,约有30辆无人驾驶特斯拉汽车投入运营。

D | 特斯拉有望在本次活动中官宣Cybercab加入Robotaxi服务车队,不过推广节奏仍待采集Cybercab全新底盘实测数据与监管审批进度。 回顾此前,自6月起,Cybercab已在全美多地公共道路上被目击进行测试,包括奥斯汀。7月,特斯拉开始允许员工在奥斯汀园区私人道路上乘坐Cybercab,并收集反馈意见——这与去年奥斯汀Robotaxi首个站点上线前的准备流程如出一辙。 今年6月30日,首辆量产版Cybercab开始工程测试,车辆在无方向盘、无踏板状态下上路行驶;7月,内部员工在奥斯汀园区私人道路上开启通勤试运营,这与去年Robotaxi上线前的流程类似。 近期,特斯拉还在奥斯汀完成了对急救人员的紧急培训,教导他们如何处理Cybercab相关突发情况,例如在必要时如何移动车辆。奥斯汀市政府发言人对此予以确认。 马斯克的关键一战 马斯克曾多次将Cybercab和Robotaxi服务定位为特斯拉未来营收和利润的重要来源,也是其AI战略的核心支柱。 据爱建证券推算,Cybercab购置成本或较网约车降低30%,降本空间来自供应链整合与结构设计优化。Cybercab通过去除方向盘、踏板等部件、采用小电池方案降低整车复杂度,并配合新生产工艺,单车成本较同期美国网约车主流车型购置成本低约30%。

E | 而Cybercab量产运营成本约0.21–0.25美元/英里,接近传统网约车的20%,为Robotaxi盈利成立的核心支撑。

F | 特斯拉在7月最新财报中披露,特斯拉Robotaxi业务目前覆盖七大区域,其中2州6城无监督运营,无监督驾驶累计超38万英里,近数月周度里程保持双位数增速,服务期间零重大事故,累计付费里程接近250万英里。 据悉,特斯拉雇用了数百名安全操作员,负责测试软件、优化系统,并协助湾区的叫车服务。不过,在迈阿密等新市场,特斯拉已开始减少安全操作员数量,并在车辆上路初期不再安排员工随车。 在资本投入层面,特斯拉今年资本支出同比增长逾一倍,达到近58亿美元,主要用于AI相关项目。马斯克的逻辑是:特斯拉不应被视为一家单纯的汽车制造商,AI与自动驾驶才是其未来的核心。

G | 值得注意的是,特斯拉上个月已开始在德州生产Cybercab,但随后表示2026年内不会达到量产规模。

H | 马斯克在7月财报会上解释称,由于Cybercab采用全新平台,特斯拉需要先积累专属驾驶数据,才能进一步扩大投放规模。
