China airs two more confessions by Taiwan fraud suspects

Police escort a group of people wanted for suspected fraud in China, after they were deported from Kenya, as they get off a plane after arriving at Beijing Capital International Airport in Beijing, China, April 13, 2016.

Confessions by two more Taiwanese telecoms fraud suspects, from among dozens deported from Kenya to China last month were aired by Chinese state television on Monday, appearing to back China's contention that such crimes are lightly dealt with in Taiwan.

The case, and subsequent deportations of Taiwanese from Malaysia for similar suspected crimes, has infuriated Taiwan and soured ties that were already strained by the election in January of a pro-independence party in Taipei.
