This will be the first time that Beijing has banned its films and filmmakers from attending the Golden Horse Awards since Taiwan officially allowed the mainland to take part in 1996.

Mainland China will not take part in a major Taiwanese film festival, the country’s film administrators announced on Wednesday, reflecting tensions across the strait.

Earlier reports had suggested that the Golden Rooster Awards, the mainland’s annual film event, would be held on the same date in Xiamen in southeast China. The announcement came with cross-strait tensions continuing to escalate since the 2016 election of Tsai Ing-wen from the pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party as the self-ruled island’s president.

Beijing views the island as a renegade province and has said repeatedly that it will not renounce the use of force to reunify it with the mainland.
