Taiwan democracy activist pleads guilty chinese trial

You're referring to the recent news about a Taiwanese democracy activist who pleaded guilty in a Chinese trial.

According to reports, Lee Ming-che, a Taiwanese democracy activist, pleaded guilty to subverting state power in a Chinese court on March 7, 2018. Lee was arrested in March 2017 while visiting China, and was accused of spreading "Western values" and "subverting state power" through his online activities.

Lee's case has been widely condemned by human rights groups and governments around the world, who have called for his immediate release. Taiwan's government has also expressed strong concerns over Lee's detention and trial, and has demanded his release.

Lee's guilty plea is seen as a significant development in the case, as it may lead to a harsher sentence. Human rights groups have expressed concerns that Lee may face up to 10 years in prison, and that his trial has been marred by irregularities and lack of due process.

Lee's case has highlighted the tensions between Taiwan and China, which have been strained in recent years over issues such as trade, security, and political differences. Taiwan has long been a beacon of democracy in East Asia, and Lee's activism has been seen as a threat to China's authoritarian regime.

The international community has been watching Lee's case closely, and has called for his release and for China to respect human rights and the rule of law.
