Taiwan Begins to Deal With its Amateur Spies Caught by China

I read this interesting story the other day on Taiwan begins to deal with its amateur spies caught by China. In the 1980s and 1990s, the Taiwanese government recruited businessmen to help “spy” on China because Taiwanese businessmen were the only ones allowed to enter China to help build China (i.e. no Taiwanese tourists like there are today). Many of these civilian spies were arrested and imprisoned, but since China and Taiwan do not officially have diplomatic ties, no one really knows how many there are. Some of those prisoners over time have been released and are now seeking redress for their work as a spy. It’s an interesting read if you’re into knowing a little spy-vs-spy history between Taiwan and China.
