DPP Taipei mayoral candidate Puma Shen has accused China of interfering in upcoming local elections after Beijing announced sanctions on a company owned by his father. China’s Taiwan Affairs Office alleged that Shen’s father operated a second company to circumvent sanctions on another firm he owned. Shen himself has been under Chinese sanctions since 2024, when Beijing labeled him a “die-hard Taiwan independence separatist.”
