ZHANGZHOU, Fujian: Chen Longfeng, an entrepreneur from Taiwan, is breaking ground in Zhangzhou, Fujian province, where he is serving as a juror in a court case involving a 71-year-old man from Taiwan accused of molesting an 8-year-old Taiwanese girl.

Chen is one of the first people from Taiwan to become a juror on the mainland.

His selection followed Zhangzhou taking the national lead in August when it made eight people from Taiwan who now live on the mainland eligible to serve on juries in trials involving people from Taiwan.
