Chinese authorities accused a Taiwanese man of ‘intentionally concealing’ his identity as an active serviceman after he and his companion were rescued in a fishing boat. — AFP picBEIJING, March 22 — Chinese authorities accused a Taiwanese man of “intentionally concealing” his identity as an active serviceman after he and his companion were rescued in a fishing boat.

One of the anglers, identified only by family name Hu, is an active member of Taiwan’s military, state news agency Xinhua reported today, citing a spokesman of the Taiwan Affairs Office — a Chinese body that handles cross-strait affairs.“He did not truthfully provide his identity and fabricated false professional information to intentionally conceal it,” spokesman Chen Binhua said.Advertisement

The incident comes during an ongoing row between Taipei and Beijing over a fatal boat incident last month. Beijing has accused Taipei of “hiding the truth” about the incident, while the Taiwanese coast guard said the boat involved had entered “prohibited waters”, was zigzagging and “lost its balance” before capsizing.
