Xu Qiaoxin files a defamation lawsuit against Taipei prosecutor Du Bingcheng for reporting her involvement in submarine sonar, receiving kickbacks, and insider trading, while also suing Mirror Weekly for 'aggravated defamation'. Mirror Weekly plans to counter sue, asserting journalist's due diligence. Xu denies allegations, claiming the report damages her reputation and intends to deter future baseless accusations. The magazine stands by its report, citing it is in the public interest and not driven by malice, vowing to fight baseless lawsuits to prevent a chilling effect. They highlight that reporting was balanced with Xu's perspective.
