ON ALLEGED TELECOM CRIMES120 Taiwanese arrested in GreeceTAIPEI: Around 120 Taiwanese have been arrested in Greece for suspected telecom crimes, Taipei officials said on Saturday, the latest such arrests abroad. Taipei was furious over deportations of Taiwanese fraud suspects from Kenya, Malaysia and Cambodia to China. Relations between Taiwan and China have grown frosty since Tsai Ing-wen and her pro-independence party came to power in May. The Taiwanese are being held in Greek police headquarters pending the investigation. China insists that self-ruling Taiwan is part of its territory even though the two sides split in 1949 after a civil war.
