Former TV actress Wang Hsiao-chan (
Last year Wang was in the news after national media alleged that Wang had an extramarital affair with John Chang (
On Friday, Wang went to police at the Hong Kong Airport accusing a businessman, Liang Kuei-hai (梁桂海) of criminal behavior, the report said.
Liang is married to someone else but he had been living with Wang in a hotel for a few months. According to an unidentified source, Wang was suspicious of Liang's "loyalty" to her, and followed him when he left for the airport, the report said.
At the airport, she was surprised to see that Liang was leaving for the US with his wife and children.
She reportedly tried to stop him from leaving, but failed. She next went to the airport police and demanded they prevent him from leaving Hong Kong. She reportedly told the policemen the details of her relationship with Liang, stressing that he had bilked millions of dollars from her.
The police, however, said the evidence Wang presented was insufficient, and turned down her request.
When interviewed by media at the airport, Wang said, "Up to now, I had believed in him. But it turns out that he has taken me in," the report said.
The report also quoted a statement that Wang later made as saying: "When I met this man at the very beginning, he told me that he was over 50 years old and that he was a machinery salesman. During the four months that we lived together in a hotel, even though he was married, he never went home or left me alone. Therefore, I supposed that he and his wife were already living separate lives. But the truth is that they plotted together to rip me off."
CSBC Corp, Taiwan (台灣國際造船) yesterday released the first video documenting the submerged sea trials of Taiwan’s indigenous defense submarine prototype, the Hai Kun (海鯤), or Narwhal, showing underwater navigation and the launch of countermeasures. The footage shows the vessel’s first dive, steering and control system tests, and the raising and lowering of the periscope and antenna masts. It offered a rare look at the progress in the submarine’s sea acceptance tests. The Hai Kun carried out its first shallow-water diving trial late last month and has since completed four submerged tests, CSBC said. The newly released video compiles images recorded from Jan. 29 to
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) plans to make advanced 3-nanometer chips in Japan, stepping up its semiconductor manufacturing roadmap in the country in a triumph for Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s technology ambitions. TSMC is to adopt cutting-edge technology for its second wafer fab in Kumamoto, company chairman C.C. Wei (魏哲家) said yesterday. That is an upgrade from an original blueprint to produce 7-nanometer chips by late next year, people familiar with the matter said. TSMC began mass production at its first plant in Japan’s Kumamoto in late 2024. Its second fab, which is still under construction, was originally focused on
DETERRENCE EFFORTS: Washington and partners hope demonstrations of force would convince Beijing that military action against Taiwan would carry high costs The US is considering using HMAS Stirling in Western Australia as a forward base to strengthen its naval posture in a potential conflict with China, particularly over Taiwan, the Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday. As part of its Indo-Pacific strategy, Washington plans to deploy up to four nuclear-powered submarines at Stirling starting in 2027, providing a base near potential hot spots such as Taiwan and the South China Sea. The move also aims to enhance military integration with Pacific allies under the Australia-UK-US trilateral security partnership, the report said. Currently, US submarines operate from Guam, but the island could
RESTRAINTS: Should China’s actions pose any threat to Taiwan’s security, economic or social systems, China would be excluded from major financial institutions, the bill says The US House of Representatives on Monday passed the PROTECT Taiwan Act, which states that Washington would exclude China from participating in major global financial organizations if its actions directly threaten Taiwan’s security. The bill, proposed by Republican Representative Frank Lucas, passed with 395 votes in favor and two against. It stipulates that if China’s actions pose any threat to Taiwan’s security, economic or social systems, the US would, “to the maximum extent practicable,” exclude Beijing from international financial institutions, including the G20, the Bank for International Settlements and the Financial Stability Board. The bill makes it clear that China must be prepared
