Chiung Yao slams copycat writer

Chiung Yao (L) and Yu Zheng

Taiwan novelist and screenwriter Chiung Yao claims historical television series Palace 3: The Lost Daughter, written and produced by screenwriter Yu Zheng from the Chinese mainland, plagiarizes one of her works, and has demanded provincial TV station Hunan Television pull it off-air.

She provided evidence of copyright infringement Tuesday in a letter to China's State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television, the top regulator of China's TV and film industry.
