TAIPEI, Taiwan: Taiwan declared an e-commerce platform linked to China's Alibaba Group a potential security risk and told its operator on Aug 24 to register as a company from the rival mainland or dispose of its ownership stake.

The order adds to mounting pressure on Chinese companies in the United States and other countries over security concerns.
