Taiwan detains alleged agent identified in Australian reports, calls China 'enemy of democracy&#
Taiwanese police have detained and questioned a Chinese businessman and his wife who have been identified by self-confessed Chinese intelligence operative Wang Liqiang as spying for China and interfering in Taiwan's democratic elections.
Businessman Xiang Xin and his wife Qing Gong, both directors of the company that Wang says employed him to run interference operations, were detained at Taiwan's main airport as they tried to leave the country on Sunday in the wake of reports in The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald and 60 Minutes which identified them as alleged Chinese spies.
