No appeal on Chen’s assets

Monday, 01 February 2010 08:57 Taipei Times

Prosecutors investigating former president Chen Shui-bian’s (陳水扁) corruption and money laundering cases yesterday said they would not appeal a High Court ruling to unfreeze certain assets of the former first family.

In November, the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office’s Special Investigation Panel (SIP) confirmed that it had requested the court to freeze NT$300 million (US$9 million) in bank accounts, stock holdings and real estate holdings of several members of the former president’s family.

US positive on arms deal

Monday, 01 February 2010 08:35 Taipei Times

Despite strong Chinese objections, there was a generally positive reaction throughout the US on Saturday to US President Barack Obama’s decision to sell more than US$6 billion in Patriot anti-missile systems, helicopters, mine-sweeping ships and communications equipment to Taiwan.

The Washington Post said that even though the new arms package did not include the sale of 66 F-16C/D fighters, “that does not mean the Obama administration has rejected Taiwan’s request.”

Tens of thousands of protesters, some waving British imperial flags and denouncing Chinese “colonists,” marched through torrential rain in Hong Kong yesterday to clamor for universal suffrage on the 16th anniversary of the territory’s return to Chinese rule.

Tropical Storm Rumbia brought a drenching and strong winds to the march, now an annual outpouring of discontent directed at both China’s communist government and the semi-autonomous territory’s local leadership.
