The island’s government has sparked a row by accusing industry groups of bowing to pressure from mainland China
“There is no pressure from Beijing. None of us received calls from Beijing,” said Hsu Shu-po, chairman of the Taipei-based General Chamber of Commerce.
“On the contrary, we did receive calls from [Taiwan’s] government.”
Hsu did not elaborate, but said the authorities should not obstruct business associations from expressing their views in a democratic society.
