TAIPEI, Taiwan—The attack against Hong Kong singer and activist Denise Ho on Sept. 29, when she was splattered with red paint while speaking to media at a local rally in support of Hong Kong protesters, is suspected of being orchestrated by local members of a pro-Beijing political party.

The party is part of Beijing’s “united front” of organizations that seek to spread the Chinese regime’s agenda overseas.
