TAIPEI (TVBS News) — Prosecutors indicted Xu Chunying (徐春鶯), chairwoman of the Taiwan New Immigrant Family Growth Association (台灣新住民發展協會), on Tuesday (March 24) for allegedly violating the Anti-Infiltration Act (反滲透法). The New Taipei District Prosecutors Office (新北地檢署) accused Xu of maintaining long-term ties with Chinese Communist Party (CCP, 中國共產黨) organizations. Authorities said she reported on domestic political affairs and promoted specific candidates under CCP directives, and prosecutors urged the court to impose a severe sentence.
Investigations revealed Xu collaborated with Chung Chin-ming (鍾錦明), president of the Cross-Strait Marriage Harmony Promotion Association (中華兩岸婚姻協調促進會). They traveled to China under the pretext of serving mainland spouses, Chinese citizens who married Taiwanese nationals, and maintained close contact with CCP officials. The indictment noted Xu's dissatisfaction with the Kuomintang (KMT, 國民黨), Taiwan's main opposition party. She objected to the KMT's reluctance to shorten residency periods for mainland spouses and include them in the party's at-large candidate list.
In 2022, Xu reported to CCP officials about Huang Shan-shan's (黃珊珊) candidacy for Taipei mayor and subsequently mobilized mainland spouses to campaign for Huang under CCP instruction. During the 2024 presidential election, Xu learned that Ko Wen-je, the former Taiwan People's Party (TPP, 民眾黨) presidential candidate, intended to organize within the mainland spouse community. Xu then mobilized support for Ko among mainland spouses, according to prosecutors.
Between 2020 and 2025, Xu illegally conducted foreign exchange transactions amounting to NT$28.75 million (around US$899,000), with criminal proceeds exceeding NT$240,000 (around US$7,500). She also facilitated a housing loan under her daughter's name by conspiring with her friend, surnamed Luo (羅), to use a company name to enroll her daughter in labor insurance. Xu issued false employment documents to secure a NT$26.97 million (around US$844,000) loan.
