Prosecutors in Taiwan have indicted two leaders of the island's tiny Taiwan People's Communist Party on accusations they colluded with China in an effort to influence next year's elections for president and members of the legislative assembly
Chairman of Taiwan People's Communist Party Lin Te-wang, center, attends a protest outside of the Taipei International Convention Center during the Taiwan-U.S. Defense Industry Forum in Taipei, Taiwan on May 3, 2023. Prosecutors in Taiwan have indicted Lin and the party's Vice Chairman Chen Chien-hsin on accusations they colluded with China in an effort to influence next year’s elections for president and members of the legislative assembly.
A one-time ranking member of the pro-unification opposition Nationalist Party, Lin founded the Taiwan People’s Communist Party in 2017 and has maintained close ties with China's Taiwan Affairs Office, a Cabinet-level agency dedicated to pursuing China's unification agenda. No word of the indictments appeared on the party's Facebook page and calls to its listed phone number in the southern city of Taiwan said it had been disconnected.
In their pursuit of Taiwan's formal independence, the DPP and unidentified “separatist forces” have abused the law to suppress those advocating unification with China, office spokesperson Zhu Fenglian said.
