A Chinese defector speaks about Beijing’s efforts to influence politics in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Australia.
Election campaigning in Taiwan was hit at the weekend by new allegations that Beijing had tried to meddle in the island’s politics.
Han said that he would drop out if it was shown that he had taken money from China’s Communist Party. “Taiwan was the most important work of ours: the infiltration into media, temples, and grassroots organisations,” Wang said through a translator in a televised interview on Australia’sThe 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.
DPP chairperson Cho Jung-tai, writing on his Facebook page, said the Kuomintang was teaming up with the Chinese Communist Party against Taiwan and urged people to use their vote wisely. Han told reporters he had doubts about what the defector was claiming, asking how the Kuomintang lost the last presidential election in 2016 if China really was swaying elections.
