Beijing - Taipei
The Chinese government said on Wednesday that a Taiwanese man who had disappeared in China on March 19 was being investigated for suspicion of harming national security.
Lee Ming Zhe, a community college worker known for supporting human rights in China, disappeared in March after entering China's Zhuhai through Macau.
"According to the information known, Li Ming Zhe, a Taiwanese citizen, is suspected of involvement in activities that pose a threat to national security and is being investigated by the relevant authorities," said Taiwan Affairs Office spokesman Ma Zaw Kwang. Ma added that Lee's case was being legally resolved and the office had seen his family's request.
"We will make a request to meet Lee Mining, the ruling Democratic Party of China (DPP), speaking on the weekend that China has failed to respond to Li's allegations, sparking panic and anxiety among families and has appealed to Chinese authorities to defend the rights of the people of Taiwan," said Li's spokeswoman Chheng Suy Chuon.
Ma Zhaoqiang said that the people of Taiwan come to China to do ordinary work, there is nothing to worry, and their rights are respected. "China is a rule of law ... At this point, the people of Taiwan can rest peacefully," he said.
Relations between Beijing and Taiwan have worsened over the past year, with Beijing largely ignoring the ruling DPP in 2016, which has an independent pro-independence tradition for Taiwan. Mr. Norara
