The ministry also urged the Chinese authorities to allow Lee's family members to visit him and release him immediately after the investigation is completed. The foundation said it will continue to provide necessary assistance to Lee's family and urged Beijing to protect Lee's due rights, so as not to damage cross-strait relations. Lee went missing after entering China via Macau on March 19 and was later confirmed to have been detained by the Chinese authorities. China's Taiwan Affairs Office spokesman An Fengshan (安峰山) said late Friday that Lee had been officially arrested on suspicion of "subversion of state power." Beijing has also refused to discuss Lee's case with Taiwan's authorities and has ignored requests to allow Lee's family to visit him.
