The Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) illegally appropriated a piece of land owned by the Republic of China (ROC) government in Seoul, Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Legislator Parris Chang (???) said yesterday.

The controversy surrounding the KMT's occupation of state-owned assets worth several billions of dollars took a fresh twist as Chang, convener of the legislature's Foreign and Overseas Chinese Affairs Committee, said that the party refused to return government-owned land in downtown Seoul.

A center serving Taiwanese immigrants opened on the 37.6m2 piece of land. Chang said that during his trip to Seoul earlier this month, local Taiwanese immigrants told him about the KMT occupation.

"The KMT took the state-owned land and carried out party affairs there. It even leased out some portions of the land to raise party funds," Chang said.
