The "5,000 Chinese spies" alleged to be operating in this country are actually "escaped illegal immigrants," rather than genuine spies, a National Security Bureau (NSB) official said yesterday.
Bureau Deputy Secretary-General Wang Hsi-tien (王西田) told an question-and-answer session at the legislature that roughly 5,000 Chinese have been living a clandestine existence since entering the country illegally.
Wang said the figure of 5,000 was arrived at based on cumulative calculations over several years.
His remarks were in response to a question about whether former deputy minister of national defense Lin Chong-pin's (林中斌) recent claim that there were more than 5,000 Chinese spies operating here was true.
