TAIPEI -- China has accused Taiwan's president of persecuting Beijing-leaning rivals, days after the leader of the second-largest opposition party was detained amid swirling corruption allegations.
"Since the Lai Ching-te administration came to power, it has repeatedly manipulated judicial and administrative means, used public weapons for private purposes, opposed party members and dissenters, and created 'green terror' on the island," Chen Binhua, spokesman for China's Taiwan Affairs Office, told reporters on Wednesday.
