Taiwan convicts ex-presidential aide of spying for China

A Taiwanese court has convicted a former presidential aide of spying for China. The court found that the individual, identified as Tsai Cheng-yuan, had engaged in espionage activities "over a long period" and had obtained "important intelligence." The case highlights the ongoing tensions between Taiwan and China, with Taiwan accusing Beijing of attempting to interfere in its internal affairs through various means, including espionage. The Taiwanese government has been taking steps to counter such efforts, and this conviction is seen as a part of those efforts. The court's decision is a significant development in the broader context of the Taiwan-China relationship, which has been marked by a delicate balance and occasional tensions. The case also serves as a reminder of the importance of safeguarding national security and the need for vigilance against foreign interference in domestic affairs.
