Ex-presidential aide among four Taiwanese jailed for China spying plot
The Guardian
|September 26, 2025
Four former employees of Taiwan's ruling political party have been convicted of spying for China and jailed for up to 10 years.
The four include a former aide to Taiwan's president, Lai Ching-te, when he was vice-president and for a time during his current presidency, and a senior staffer to Joseph Wu, then foreign minister and now the national security chief.
The aides worked for the Democratic Progressive party (DPP), Taiwan's ruling party. Huang Chu-jung, a former assistant to a New Taipei city councillor, received the longest sentence, of 10 years. He was also found guilty of money laundering and fined 1m New Taiwan dollars (£25,000) and is separately facing charges of “developing a criminal organisation” for China.
