BEIJING China on Wednesday defended the deportation of Taiwan citizens involved in overseas telecom fraud cases to China as having won widespread international approval, after Taiwan protested against Spain`s decision to deport around 200.
The Spanish case is the latest involving Taiwan citizens abroad suspected of telecom fraud against China being rounded up with Chinese nationals and sent to China, angering Taipei.
China has increasingly squeezed Taiwan`s international space since last year`s election of Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen, of the independence-leaning Democratic Progressive Party.
Last year, Taiwanese suspected of telecom fraud were deported, sometimes forcibly, according to the Taiwanese government, from countries including Kenya, Cambodia and Armenia, to China.
China regards self-ruled Taiwan as a breakaway province to be united with the mainland eventually.
