Legal experts, party representatives say administrative court ruling aids ChinaBy Jason Pan / Staff reporterLegal experts and representatives of political parties yesterday accused the Taiwan High Administrative Court of aiding China in its “united front” campaign against Taiwan, after it ruled against the Ministry of the Interior, which had fined 27 Taiwanese for working for local government offices in China. Huang, along with legal experts and academics from the Taiwan Association of University Professors (TAUP), at a briefing yesterday urged the ministry to appeal the court’s ruling on Thursday last week. Independent Legislator Freddy Lim at a news conference in Taipei yesterday criticizes a Taiwan High Administrative Court ruling, which favored Taiwanese who were working for local government offices in China. Lim said that “the ruling would permit our citizens to work for an enemy state,” which has would to go to war to annex Taiwan. Huang said the ruling showed the failure of the government’s push for judicial reform, as the Taiwan High Administrative Court had in the past few years years made rulings that went against the public’s expectations.
