A Taiwanese businessman working in China recently paid a smuggler to return him safely to Taiwan to escape persecution by Chinese authorities after he says he was framed for committing fraud.
The businessman said that after a conflict broke out between executives at the Taiwanese company that employs him and Chinese officials, he was harassed by the officials.
