Taipei prosecutors have charged two individuals under Taiwan’s National Security Act for allegedly leaking military intelligence to a Chinese agent. The accused include a former private, surnamed Lin, and an active-duty member of the Navy’s Haifeng missile force, surnamed Tsai, who allegedly shared operational materials for the Hsiung Feng II missile system. Lin, previously dismissed from the Navy, reportedly engaged with a Chinese intelligence officer online, soliciting classified information from Tsai, who accepted bribes totaling approximately NT$38,000 (US$1,235). While the Navy clarified that the materials were not classified, the incident underscores serious concerns about national security and the potential vulnerabilities within military ranks, reflecting broader geopolitical tensions in the region.
