TAIPEI — The Taiwan High Court Tuesday upheld a District Court ruling that media personality Clara Chou (周玉蔻) must pay NT$2 million (US$64,800) in compensation for defaming tycoon Terry Gou (郭台銘).

Gou, chairman of Hon Hai Precision Industry, filed a suit against Chou in 2015 for alleging that he made a NT$300 million political donation to the Kuomintang (KMT) Taipei mayoral candidate Sean Lien’s (連勝文) election campaign.

In August 2015, Chou, a HitFm radio host and frequent TV talk show guest, was also ordered by the Taipei District Court publish a half-page apology on the front pages of seven newspapers, as well as on the my-formosa.com website.

Chou appealed the ruling, but the High Court upheld it, ordering her to pay the money but limiting her apology to just four major dailies.    [FULL  STORY]
