1. Taiwan indicts five men over car attack on comedian Huang Yi-hao; prosecutors say a Chinese national offered NT$450,000

   Taipei Times reported that New Taipei prosecutors on Oct 21 released an indictment charging five Taiwanese men with ramming comedian Huang Yi-hao with a car near his home in New Taipei on Sept 11. Prosecutors said a Chinese national code-named 'K' offered NT$450,000 to a Taiwanese man surnamed Cheng to seriously injure Huang so he could not perform on Sept 20. The five are charged with attempted aggravated assault and violating the Personal Data Protection Act, among other offences; prosecutors sought at least five and a half years for the main suspect and said the case endangered national security and social stability. The Guardian said Huang had joked about Xi Jinping in his shows.
