Jun 11, 2024, 09:59 PM
Taiwanese authorities have arrested a former Chinese navy captain after his speedboat entered Taipei harbour illegally. The man, whose identity has not been disclosed, is suspected of probing the island's defenses. Senior Taiwanese officials have raised concerns about the potential espionage activities, leading to increased security measures. The incident, which occurred on Tuesday, has prompted Taiwan to scrutinize the man's claims of political persecution. The boat was detected by radar only 6 n. miles away from the coast. Meanwhile, China's government has stated that the former navy captain acted independently and would face punishment if returned to China.
