💨 Abstract

Seven retired Taiwanese military personnel are charged with espionage for selling state secrets to China, including photos of the American Institute in Taiwan and military bases. The case involves a political infiltration operation tied to a minor political group, the Rehabilitation Alliance. The suspects allegedly took photos of sensitive military sites and shared them with Chinese contacts, claiming the funds were for authenticating Chinese antiques. They face up to seven years in prison and heavy fines if convicted.
