TAIWAN is to launch an official investigation into the ill-gotten assets of political parties in a move blasted by the opposition Kuomintang (KMT) as persecution.
The move comes after Beijing-sceptic President Tsai Ing-wen took power in May, marking the end of an eight-year rapprochement with China under the previous KMT government.
