The Cabinet is to look into the financing of organized crime groups with alleged links to China following violence after a cross-strait music event at National Taiwan University (NTU) on Sept. 24 allegedly committed by members of the China Unification Promotion Party (CUPP).

During yesterday’s Cabinet meeting, Premier William Lai (賴清德) told the ministries of the interior and justice to draft measures against criminal activities that are aimed at creating disruption and insecurity, Cabinet spokesman Hsu Kuo-yung (徐國勇) said.

“It has to be learned if such crime organizations have received funding from secret sources,” Lai was quoted as saying. “We cannot allow the public to lose confidence in the government’s ability to ensure security.”
