2 admit writing against the State

Taiwan resident Lee Ming-che and Peng Yuhua from the Chinese mainland pleaded guilty on Monday to subversion in a court in Hunan province.

The two confessed to inciting subversion of State power by writing and spreading information about distorted facts and hostilities against the Chinese government and the political system on social media between 2012 and 2016, according to a statement by the province's Yueyang Intermediate People's Court.

"I regretted conducting such serious criminal acts against the government, with no regard for law on the Chinese mainland," said Lee, 42.
