Taiwan convicts ex-presidential aide of spying for China

Former Taiwan presidential aide and three others, all from the ruling Democratic Progressive Party, were convicted of spying for China, leaking state secrets, and sharing important diplomatic intelligence over a long period. The court sentenced the perpetrators to jail terms ranging from four to 10 years. This case highlights the ongoing espionage between Taiwan and China, as Beijing asserts control over Taiwan while Taipei claims increased Chinese spying in recent years.
