TAIWAN: 'Spying' professor under investigation

Prosecutors in Taiwan last week investigated Wu Chang-yu, an associate professor in the Central Police University's department of administrative management, in connection with passing information on activities of Chinese and foreigners in Taiwan to China, writes Lin Ching-Chuan for Taipei Times.

On suspicion of violating the National Security Act, agents from the political investigation and prevention group under the Bureau of Investigation's maintenance of national security office last week raided Wu's university lab and related individuals' residences.

Sources said Wu was often invited to China for speeches and lectures, allegedly giving Chinese intelligence-gathering agencies a way of contacting Wu under the guise of increasing academic exchange. Wu allegedly used the time between his travels across the Strait to give the information he had gathered on the activities of visiting Chinese during their stays in Taiwan to China via suspected Taiwanese accomplices Wu Tung-lin and Lin Po-hung.
