Wrapping Up the Riff-Raff

I try to post as many stories as possible about spies, so here's a story... About Taiwanese Spies!

Taiwan says it has detained 17 military officers and civilians suspected of passing military secrets to China.

They include an army major working in the defence ministry reported to be responsible for collecting intelligence about China's People's Liberation Army.

Taiwan says the alleged spy ring was discovered by accident during investigations into credit card fraud.

Both Taiwan and its rival China are believed to run extensive intelligence networks in each other's territory.

Both sides regularly announce the arrests and convictions of alleged spies.

If they are spies, I hope they receive a traitor's punishment: public execution.
