Army Colonel Hsiang Te-en, right, and retired lieutenant Shao Wei-chiang, whose faces have been digitally obscured, hold a written pledge of allegiance to the Chinese Communist Party in an undated photograph. Shao is a retired lieutenant who had until June 2019 worked as a Kinmen regional reporter for China Television. Implicated military personnel are being investigated by the Ministry of National Defense, the office said. The incident highlights the threat that Chinese intelligence operations pose to the military, the ministry said, adding that its preventive measures are effective. The ministry would also work closely with national security agencies to thwart Chinese intelligence-gathering efforts, it added.
