2011-02-14 (China Military News cited from Global times) -- The recent arrest of Lo Hsien-che, a senior Taiwanese general who allegedly spied for the Chinese mainland, was not the first time such a scandal raised questions about spying across the Straits.
For decades now, experts have said, cross-Straits spying has been common and this new case will not have a significant impact on the relationship between the mainland and Taiwan.
Over the years, authorities on the Chinese mainland have uncovered several cases in which double agents were accused of betraying the mainland.
Taiwan's spying activities on the mainland could be categorized into two areas. They either recruit people on the mainland, especially in-service military officers, to spy for Taiwan, or to conduct spying activities on the mainland under the cover of doing business.
Here are some of the most serious cases uncovered on the mainland.
Liu Liankun
Liu, a former major general in the People's Liberation Army, was executed in 1999 after he was found spying for Taiwan.
Liu, born in 1933 in Qiqihaer, Heilongjiang Province, was head of the ordnance department of the General Logistics Department in the People's Liberation Army (PLA) for six years.
