China says Taiwan publisher under national security investigation

Taiwanese publisher Li Yanhe, who went missing during a visit to Shanghai, is under investigation for suspected national security crimes, according to Chinese authorities. Li’s Gusa Publishing has published books on history and politics critical of China’s ruling Communist Party, including a history of alleged Chinese oppression in the western region of Xinjiang and a title on Beijing’s global propaganda efforts. The case follows the formal pressing of secession charges against Taiwanese activist Yang Chih-yuan by Chinese authorities.
