Taiwan man arrested on subversion charge

State security authorities in Hunan province have arrested Taiwan resident Lee Ming-che on suspicion of subversion, a mainland spokesman said on Friday.

An Fengshan, spokesman for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, said the arrest was approved by prosecutors, which is required by China's Criminal Procedure Law.

Probes by State security authorities show that Lee had frequently come to the Chinese mainland since 2012, and colluded with certain individuals in the mainland to make plans and establish illegal organizations aiming to subvert State power, An said.
