Mainland accuses Taiwan of recruiting students to serve as informants

 

National authorities claim that mainland students at more than 20 Taiwan universities were enlisted by local spies between 2009 and 2013 through various means, such as providing work opportunities, in return for information on mainland political, economic and military policies.

While the two sides have both benefited from strengthened ties, Taiwan-led espionage is working against this progress. The Global Times learned that nearly 40 such cases involving mainland students in 15 provincial regions have been uncovered in recent years.

Mainland officials have requested Taiwan authorities to address the situation, yet such activities persist.

"Such espionage activities that utilize students as targets go against the mainstream wish and should be strictly condemned," said the security official.

Fan Liqing, spokeswoman of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, on Monday urged Taiwan to immediately cease such activities, which seriously inhibit cross-Straits educational cooperation and jeopardize the safety of students.
