    China News Service, September 7th, Taiwan artist Jay Chou was accused of obstructing the "military service case". The Taipei District Prosecutor’s Office said today that Jay Chou did suffer from stiff spondylitis and was judged to be in the C-class position, so he did not need to be a soldier. It was determined that Jay Chou did not intend to evade military service, nor did he change his position in other ways. Therefore, he was not guilty enough and did not prosecute.


    The Central News Agency reported that according to the non-prosecution order of the Taipei District Prosecutor’s Office, Jay Chou was accused of exempting himself from military service on the grounds of stiff spondylitis, but he was able to perform on the stage for several hours with normal limbs, and can play basketball, play antique cars, and do things that patients with stiff spondylitis cannot do. Obviously, Jay Chou’s exemption position is hypocritical and untrue, and he is involved in violating the "military service penalty regulations."


    The non-prosecution statement said that after investigation, Jay Chou was indeed diagnosed with stiff spondylitis by hospitals such as Shin Guang and the "Tri-Services General Hospital", and was judged to be in the C position in April 1999. Unless the entire spine adheres to the end of the stiff spondylitis, exercise can reduce the pain and stiffness of the lower back and neck. As long as Jay Chou does not maintain a fixed position for too long, he should have no difficulty performing for a few hours. Playing basketball and playing with antique cars is normal.


    According to the report, the non-prosecution order pointed out that Jay Chou did not intend to avoid the recruitment of "standing soldiers", nor did he change his posture in other ways, and there was no other positive evidence to prove that Jay Chou committed a crime of "obstructing military service". Therefore, he was not prosecuted on the grounds of insufficient guilt.
