Taiwan’s government has opened an investigation into an allegation that a Chinese reporter working for China’s state-run media Xinhua tried to manipulate the content of a Taiwanese local political talk show.

Liang Wen-chieh, deputy head and spokesperson of Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council, told reporters at a press conference on June 27 that a multiagency probe had been launched to investigate the issue. He said the Xinhua correspondent arrived in Taiwan in February and left in May.
