Taiwan names new chairman for mainland affairs
Print Edition
Taiwan has named a new chief for mainland affairs in an attempt to reboot cross-strait relations after a row over espionage.
Deputy defense chief Andrew Hsia succeeded Wang Yu-chi as chairman of the Mainland Affairs Council, which handles relations between Taiwan and the Chinese mainland, after Wang resigned last week.
Wang had accused a former deputy chief at the council, Chang Hsien-yao, of leaking confidential documents to the mainland.
However, prosecutors decided not to indict Chang, who has vehemently denied the claims, saying there was not enough evidence to do so.
An angry Wang ridiculed the decision but resigned his post anyway, saying he had to accept political responsibility.
Hsia had been a career diplomat before he was appointed a deputy defense chief in October 2013.
Authorities in both Beijing and Taipei have stressed that cross-strait ties will not be affected by the espionage allegations.
