TAIPEI, Taiwan—The Taiwan government has accused the Chinese communist regime of engaging in transnational repression after a Chinese state-run newspaper in Hong Kong published an article targeting Taiwanese Interior Minister Liu Shyh-fang and her nephew.

Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council, a government agency that handles cross-strait affairs, criticized Hong Kong newspaper Ta Kung Pao for “disseminating malicious information” to attack Liu and for “improperly implicating” her nephew, according to a Feb. 27 statement.
