Xu Chunying indictment raises infiltration concernsBy Liu Yung-yun, Chen Cheng-yu, Chen Yu-fu, Chen Chih-cheng a / Staff reporters, with staff writerAlleged contact between Xu Chunying (徐春鶯) — a resident of Taiwan by marriage since 1998 and director of the Taiwan New Immigrant Development Association — and Chinese officials have raised fresh concerns about Beijing’s attempts to influence Taiwan’s politics. Democratic Progressive Party spokesman Justin Wu (吳崢) said that the case raised serious concerns about the TPP’s ties to Xu and Li, accusing the party of undermining Taiwan’s legal framework and autonomy. Xu claimed to have been a Chinese state official and described herself as “pro-China,” indicating alignment with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Wu said. National Cheng Kung University professor of political science Wang Hung-jen (王宏仁) said that the law might be insufficient to counter such infiltration. The party must clarify its position to address public concerns about possible links with China, Chang said.
