The D-P-P has expelled five members accused of spying for China.

the party's Central Evaluation Committee says the decision to revoke their
party memberships is aimed at "upholding discipline and safeguard national
security."

Expelled members include Sheng Chu-ying, a former assistant to You Si-kun
during his tenure as legislative speaker.

Sheng is accused of leaking legislative information to Chinese intelligence
for cash and cryptocurrency payments.

He is currently free on bail.

Others include Ho Ren-chieh, a former assistant serving under National
Security Council Secretary-General Joseph Wu during the latter's tenure as
foreign minister ...

... Wu Shang-yu, who worked as an adviser in President Lai Ching-te's office
and Chiu Shih-yuan, a former deputy head of the D-P-P's Taiwan Institute of
Democracy.

Prosecutors say Ho, Wu and Chou used their access to collect sensitive
political information for the Chinese intelligence services.
