TAIPEI, Taiwan—A mainland Chinese tourist has been kicked out of Taiwan on Oct. 8, after he was charged for intentionally destroying a “Lennon Wall” erected by local supporters of the ongoing Hong Kong protests.

Li Shaodong, 30, was arrested after he tore down posters plastered on a wall inside the campus of National Taiwan University (NTU) on Oct. 7 morning and tried to flee the scene. At many college campuses in Taiwan, students have put up such Lennon Walls, large mosaics of post-it notes and posters that convey messages of solidarity with the Hong Kong protesters.
