TAIPEI, Taiwan—A naturalized Taiwanese citizen of Chinese origin has been sentenced to eight years in prison for violating Taiwan’s national security law by establishing organizations in Taiwan under the direction of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Zhou Man-zhi, a Chinese national who obtained Taiwanese citizenship in 2004 after marrying a Taiwanese man, was sentenced on Jan. 20 by the Taiwan High Court’s branch in the southern Taiwanese city of Kaohsiung. The sentencing reverses a prior ruling that acquitted Zhou because of insufficient evidence.
