China sentenced a former military industry worker to life imprisonment for espionage, while Taiwan detained a former assistant to the current head of its National Security Council in a separate spying case, according to media reports on Saturday.
China announced Saturday that a former employee of its military industry has been sentenced to life in prison for espionage, state-affiliated Global Times reported. The individual, identified only as Wei, had worked for a research institute under a Chinese military industry group.
Wei was accused of stealing and selling core technological secrets related to research, development, and practical applications in key sectors. Authorities claim he was recruited by a foreign intelligence agency and sold over 1,000 documents, including six classified and 536 secret-level documents.
Meanwhile, in Taiwan, authorities detained Ho Jen-chieh, a former assistant to National Security Council chief and ex-Foreign Minister Joseph Wu, as part of an espionage probe. According to state-run Focus Taiwan, Ho was taken into custody on Thursday over allegations of leaking sensitive information to China.
The Taiwanese investigation reportedly includes other prominent figures, such as Wu Shang-yu, an advisor to President William Lai Ching-te.
Both cases highlight escalating cross-strait tensions and growing concerns over intelligence breaches amid heightened geopolitical rivalries in the region.
