Taiwan charges 4 ex-ruling party members with spying for China ...Middle East

News by : (Daily Sun) -

The four defendants were among five people expelled from Lai’s ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) -- which advocates for Taiwan’s sovereignty -- last month for suspected espionage.

China claims democratic self-ruled Taiwan is part of its territory and has threatened to use force to annex it. Taipei accuses Beijing of using espionage and infiltration to weaken its defences.

Other alleged offences include money laundering.

Prosecutors are seeking prison sentences ranging from five to more than 18 years, and the confiscation of more than NT$8.3 million (US$277,000) in illicit gains.

Huang previously worked for a New Taipei City councillor, the semi-official Central News Agency (CNA) said.

Huang and Ho have denied the allegations against them, prosecutors said.

Beijing and Taipei have been spying on each other for decades, but experts say the threat to Taiwan is greater given the risk of a Chinese invasion.

In 2024, they included 15 veterans and 28 active service members, with prison sentences reaching as high as 20 years.
