两名台湾男子被控为中国进行间谍活动,其中一人面临10年以上监禁。 Two Taiwanese men indicted for spying for China, with one facing over 10 years in prison.

两名台湾国民,前行政官程明夏和退休官胡彭年,因涉嫌在2021年为中国共产党经营间谍网络而根据《台湾国家安全法》被起诉。 Two Taiwanese nationals, former Executive Yuan official Cheng Ming-chia and retired official Hu Peng-nian, were indicted under Taiwan’s National Security Act for allegedly running an espionage network for China’s Communist Party in 2021. 检察官说,与广州中共所属团体有联系的郑成征召胡(当时在中国)征召军方、政府和年轻政治人物收集敏感信息,这标志着向渗透台湾政治机构的转变。 Prosecutors say Cheng, linked to CCP-affiliated groups in Guangzhou, recruited Hu—then in China—to enlist military, government, and young political figures to gather sensitive information, marking a shift toward infiltrating Taiwan’s political institutions. 尽管大多数招募尝试都失败,但当局仍认为该计划对国家安全构成严重威胁。 Despite most recruitment attempts failing, authorities deemed the scheme a serious national security threat. Cheng已被定罪,将面临至少10年的监禁,而承认并表示悔恨的胡锦涛则可能被判处较轻的徒刑。 Cheng, with prior convictions, faces at least 10 years in prison, while Hu, who confessed and showed remorse, may receive a lighter sentence. 高等法院作出裁决后,两人仍被拘留。 Both remain in custody following a High Court ruling.
