TAIPEI, Taiwan—The Taiwanese government has condemned the regime in Beijing for its harsh treatment of a Taiwanese citizen who was sentenced in China to four years in prison.
Shih Cheng-ping, a retired assistant professor at the island’s National Taiwan Normal University, was recently found guilty of espionage and sentenced by the Intermediate People’s Court in Anshan, a city located in eastern China’s Anhui Province. The conviction was announced during a daily briefing on Nov. 25 by Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for China’s Taiwan Affairs Office (TAO), an agency under the cabinet-like State Council.
