Taipei, April 22 (CNA) Taiwan and China will jointly investigate telecom fraud

Chen Wen-chi (陳文琪), director-general of the Department of International and Cross-Strait Legal Affairs under Taiwan’s Ministry of Justice, gave the update upon her return from Beijing, where she discussed with Chinese officials the 45 Taiwanese suspects sent from Kenya to China earlier this month.
Kenya’s deportation of the 45 people to China angered Taiwan because it felt it should have jurisdiction over its own nationals. [FULL STORY]
