Last year, China expelled Peter Dahlin, a Swedish human rights advocate living in Beijing, after detaining and interrogating him over his work helping rights lawyers and activists.
?I only hope that China handles this according to the standards of a civilized country,? she said.
Mr.
Lee previously worked for the party, but he has not been a member for years, said Cheng Shiow-jiuan, the director of Taipei Wenshan Community College, where Mr.
Lee is a manager.
Tensions between China and Taiwan have risen since last year, when President Tsai Ing-wen, whose Democratic Progressive Party advocates reducing ties with China and asserting Taiwan?s separate status, took office.
She said officials from the island had told her that her husband was detained after crossing the border from Macau into China.
