Mainland Chinese actor Hu Ge arrived in Taiwan for a brief visit, sparking rumors of Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je facilitating the trip. However, the Mainland Affairs Council declared that all applications for Mainland Chinese individuals visiting Taiwan are reviewed by relevant agencies, with no involvement from the Association of Relations Across the Taiwan Straits (ARATS). Hu Ge's tight schedule included attending a youth dialogue event and having limited time for activities, with only about 200 participants allowed at the venue.
