Beijing calls the accusations as 'nonsense.' FMTNews China
Han Kuo-yu of the Nationalist Party is alleged to have taken money from China’s Communist party.
In particular, Wang said he helped guide positive media attention toward certain Taiwanese politicians, including Tsai’s top challenger, Han Kuo-yu from the China-friendly Kuomintang party. The details about what China is suspected of doing in Taiwan quickly provoked strong reaction from both Han and his party and Tsai and her ruling Democratic Progressive Party , which supports Taiwan’s formal independence, a red line for Beijing.
The Kuomintang called the reports in the Australian media “quite sensational”, adding it hoped the government did not use this to “play the fear of the communist’s card”. “In this year’s presidential election, if Han Kuo-yu has taken even one cent, he will immediately drop out of the race,” Han told reporters, adding he needed more information.China’s Taiwan Affairs Office, in a statement to Taiwanese media, said Beijing was not intervening in Taiwan’s election, and called accusations to the contrary “nonsense”.
