TutorABC has fallen into the hands of the Ping An Insurance Company of China, according to Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) legislator Lin Chun-hsien (林俊憲). He sounded the alarm about the Chinese influence over education in Taiwan at a press conference on Thursday (Jan. 7), reported CNA. Describing it as part of China’s “red infiltration” efforts, Lin said Ping An Insurance had acquired the parent company of TutorABC, iTutorGroup, in a covert deal, citing Chinese media reports. The Taiwanese company, which boasts a clientele of 200,000 from all walks of life, could be used to advance the CCP’s political agenda, Lin warned.
