Staff writer, with CNAThe Taipei District Prosecutors’ Office is hoping for help from Australia as it investigates the allegations of self-confessed Chinese spy William Wang Liqiang (王立強), a Ministry of Justice official said yesterday. Prosecutors are also hoping that Australia would allow Taiwanese investigators to question Wang through online video conferencing, the official added. Both were released after questioning, but prosecutors on Tuesday barred them from leaving the nation pending further investigation. The Chinese couple have visited Taiwan several times in the past, and own two properties in Taipei’s Xinyi District (信義), which they have since leased, Taipei prosecutors said. Before Wang appeared in public, they were in Taipei looking at a potential investment opportunity related to property in New Taipei City’s Linkou District (林口), prosecutors said.
