China has criticised Taiwan for releasing 20 people suspected of being involved in a telephone fraud case linked to mainland China.

They were part of a group of Taiwanese nationals arrested in Malaysia and deported to Taiwan.

China said it wanted to prosecute them, but Taiwanese officials said there was insufficient evidence.
