TAIPEI, Taiwan—The New Taipei District Prosecutors Office has charged a Chinese businesswoman and three others for allegedly running a company in Taiwan illegally.

Prosecutors announced the indictment in a statement on Sept. 25, with some portions redacted, including the full names of the Chinese businesswoman and her company. However, the defendant was identified by local media outlets, including Taiwan’s government-run Central News Agency, as Wang Lai-chun, CEO and chairwoman of China’s Luxshare Precision Industry Co.
