Crime-Wary China Prepares To Widen Global Campaign Against Taiwanese

Taiwan had just gotten over the first sting when a new one came. First time around, its old political enemy China persuaded Kenya to deport 45 Taiwanese citizens but not home. The group went instead to China in two planeloads April 8 and 12. Taiwan officials called it abduction while China says the 45 were suspected of defrauding mainland Chinese people by phone. China cajoled Kenya into deporting them to its turf and they eventually wound up in Beijing, masked and escorted by Chinese police as they walked off the plane.
