Chinese Infiltration in Taiwan's Military

Taiwan is confronting a significant challenge with Chinese infiltration of its armed forces, particularly targeting both retired and active military personnel. The recent indictment of a retired lieutenant general for espionage highlights the increasing threat, as both current and retired members of Taiwan's military have been implicated in espionage activities. Investigations revealed a notable rise in espionage prosecutions over the last four years, largely focused on military personnel, showcasing a deeper and more concerning issue. With tensions escalating between Taiwan and China, this infiltration not only represents a breach of trust but also threatens Taiwan's security as China aims to bolster its military readiness for potential conflict.
