Taipei, April 15 (CNA) A Taiwanese businessman with operations in China was indicted by the Shihlin Prosecutors Office Thursday for spying for China, according to the indictment released that day.
Ho Chih-chiang, a China-based Taiwanese businessman, had been recruited by China's national security authorities since 2007 to collect Taiwanese national security secrets in return for financial subsidies and other privileges, the indictment said.
Acting under the instructions of Chinese officials, Ho returned to Taiwan and tried to recruit a Taiwan National Security Bureau (NSB) officer, surnamed Chao, to serve as a Chinese spy by collecting information related to the government's policies on Falun Gong, Tibetan independence, Japan and diplomacy, between December 2008 and February this year.
Ho also offered Chao US$20,000, liquor and additional pay several times that of Chao's retirement pension in exchange for information on NSB overseas deployments and its satellite communication routings, but this was rejected by Chao.
Ho was indicted on charges of bribery and of violating laws on national security and on protection of national secrets. (By Lin Chang-shun and Bear Lee) ENDITEM/J
