Thirteen Taiwanese nationals who were extradited from Kenya have been sentenced to between two and 15 years in prison for telecom fraud by a court in China. Following the group’s sentencing, questions have been raised on how to deal with Taiwanese arrested abroad as Taiwan sees itself as a sovereign nation after 1949 civil war which divided China and Taiwan, but China considers Taiwan as a breakaway province that is part of its territory.
