Taiwan bubble tea chains face China backlash over ‘support for Hong Kong’
Huang is a vocal critic of KMT presidential candidate and Kaohsiung mayor Han Kuo-yu.
“Under the revised law, Huang is allegedly in violation by aiding enemy forces, which cover Hong Kong and Macau, and for this I have taken the case to the police for legal proceeding,” Chan said.
Huang cried foul, saying she had merely reposted the message on Facebook and she had nothing to do with the campaign to raise anti-tear gas supplies for protesters in Hong Kong.
“If this creates a national security problem, then it is a security problem involving China instead of Taiwan,” she said.
Huang also lashed out at Chan and Han for failing to sympathise with the Hong Kong protesters, a number of whom have been injured in their confrontations with police.
Taiwanese police said they would refer the matter to prosecutors, who would determine if any law had been breached.
The issue has generated heated debate among the public and political parties in Taiwan over whether aiding Hong Kong protesters should be regarded as a violation of the island’s national security laws.
