The Freeman
|September 26, 2025

-
The four people were charged in June, a month after they were expelled from Lai’s ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) -- which advocates for Taiwan’s sovereignty — over suspected espionage.
China claims democratic self-ruled Taiwan is part of its territory and has threatened to use force to annex it.
