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.

- Amy Hawkins

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.
