Taiwan Court Sentences Xu Chunying to 7 Years for Fraud and Beijing-Linked Political Influence

1 articles · Updated · 台北時報 · Aug 16

Summary

  • New Taipei District Court sentenced Chinese immigrant Xu Chunying to seven years in prison for fraud, helping Chinese nationals illegally enter Taiwan and acting under Beijing’s direction to influence Taiwanese politics.
  • Prosecutors said Xu and Cross-Strait Marriage Harmony Promotion Association chairman Chung Chin-ming maintained long-term contact with Yang Wentao and Sun Xian, two officials tied to Chinese cross-strait influence bodies.
  • The case centers on allegations that Xu and Chung accepted instructions to campaign for certain candidates, framing the prosecution as part of Taiwan’s broader effort to counter Chinese political interference.
  • The ruling came as a Taiwanese official said the Chinese Communist Party’s Beidaihe meeting set four Taiwan priorities, including opposing independence and backing “patriotic forces” in November’s local elections.
