TAIPEI – Lavish banquets and heavily subsidised plane tickets were just some of the perks that a group of China-based Taiwanese businessmen offered in their attempt to convince other Taiwanese to vote for a Beijing-friendly candidate in the island’s 2020 presidential elections.

Lin was based in China’s Hunan Province, where he was chairman of the Changsha city branch of the Association of Taiwan Investment Enterprises, a group which promotes economic co-operation between China and Taiwan businesses. The other four people had business dealings in the same province. At the presidential elections in 2020, KMT’s Mr Han lost badly to Tsai Ing-wen of the independence-leaning Democratic Progressive Party .In order to drum up support for Mr Han, Lin and the others organised a series of banquets for other Taiwanese living in China, where the event emcees would shout slogans in support of the candidate and the party, prosecutors said.

In response to Lin’s case, a TAO spokesman said earlier this year that her office condemned the DPP for “framing Taiwan compatriots”.
