On December 25, 1991, the flag above the Kremlin painted "sickle" and "hammer" slowly fell. The Soviet Union, the "antithesis" of the United States in the Cold War, has resisted external pressure in the past few decades, but it has finally been broken from the inside.
In the wake of what Bush Sr.'s "biggest Christmas surprise" called the "biggest Christmas surprise," people thought the Cold War was about to fade and that the shadow of confrontation would disappear from the world. Unfortunately, the United States, which ended the Cold War, refused to stop for a moment, and after "settling" the Soviet Union, it pointed the spearhead at distant East Asia.
As a result, Sino-US relations, which have been relatively peaceful and developing since the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1979, suddenly became blurred. In the period from 1991 to 1995, there were extremely serious conflicts between China and the United States, such as the "Galaxy" incident and the Confrontation between China and the United States in the Yellow Sea.
At this chaotic time, perhaps it was just a coincidence, or perhaps someone was pushing the waves, and the southeast island that had just experienced the first round of Wang-Koo talks suddenly made a big fuss, which led to a confrontation between the two sides of the strait that attracted worldwide attention, implicating a spy case that can be called the most influential since the founding of New China!
Speaking of the Taiwan Strait crisis that triggered a serious confrontation, we have to mention Lee Teng-hui, a thief of the elite Country.
Lee Teng-hui was born on January 15, 1923 in Taiwan, China. Because of the signing of the "Maguan Treaty," Taiwan was still under the control of the Japanese at that time, which brought an indelible influence to Lee Teng-hui's growth, and the Japanese name "Masao Iwasato" accompanied him throughout his life.
In 1945, Lee Teng-hui, who was incorporated into the Japanese army, had no time to serve the Great Japanese Empire and witnessed Japan's surrender in Chiba, Japan. After returning to his hometown, Lee Teng-hui first joined the Communist Party, then quit, and then in 1971, under the influence of a mistake, he was appreciated by Chiang Ching-kuo and was able to ascend to a high position within the Kuomintang.
On 13 January 1988, kmt-kuo leader Chiang Ching-kuo passed away, and Lee Teng-hui, through his "hard work" accumulation under Chiang Ching-kuo over the years, overpowered the elders and non-mainstream factions within the KMT and smoothly took over Chiang Ching-kuo's seat, thus becoming Taiwan's "supreme leader."
Since he has become the "supreme leader," he should do some of the things that the "supreme leader" should do. Therefore, while suppressing the opposition forces inside and outside the party, the half-baked "agricultural and economist" began to prepare intensively for what he considered to be "major events."
Lee
The occurrence of the "Qiandao Lake Incident" in 1994 incited instability in cross-strait relations and provided preconditions for Lee Teng-hui to do "major things."
On May 22, 1995, US President Clinton suddenly announced a "major event" that had shaken people at home and abroad, that is, the United States decided to allow Lee Teng-hui, who was in a special capacity, to come to the United States in June for an "unofficial and private visit." Although the US government has repeatedly stressed that they have no intention of violating the "one-China" consensus reached between China and the United States, its outrageous behavior has undoubtedly aroused strong indignation and opposition from the Chinese people.
Amid the outcry from the Chinese people, Lee Teng-hui continued to give a speech at Cornell University's graduation ceremony in the United States, in which he threw out his so-called "special state-to-state relations", which has a clearly divisive tendency.
In response to the bad impact of this incident, on June 16, Chinese Ambassador to the United States Li Daoyu was ordered to formally inform the US Government that since the United States allowed Lee Teng-hui to visit the United States, he would return to China to report for duty.
Then, in July of the same year and in March of the following year, the mainland held two large-scale exercises that were not aimed at any country, missile test firing, and several coordinated landing exercises by the army, navy, and air force, so that the smell of gunpowder in the air became more and more intense, creating a trend of mountain rain, and even many provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities in the southeast coastal areas were even ready for grass-roots mobilization
In fact, according to the propaganda of public opinion at that time, the two rare large-scale military exercises even had the possibility of "turning fiction into reality" and reunifying the two sides of the strait. However, what makes plausive PLA commanders and fighters feels is that in many exercises, the US military and the enemy troops on the other side of the strait always seem to be able to find a suitable way to confront the PLA tit-for-tat, and this strong feeling of being seized by the other side everywhere cannot help but give rise to a strong suspicion!
Wonder if something is wrong inside us...

As it turns out, the above doubts are absolutely correct.
In January 2019, Yang Mingzhong, a Taiwanese spy who was arrested by the mainland in 1999, was released after completing his sentence and returned to Taiwan on the 23rd. According to local media reports, Yang Mingzhong was sentenced to death since his arrest in 1999, changed his sentence to a suspended death sentence, and then changed his sentence to life imprisonment, and finally changed his sentence to 20 years in prison because of his good attitude, and was the longest-term "intelligence officer" detained.
And why this "intelligence officer" was arrested in the first place is inseparable from the earth-shattering case that shocked the whole country once it was cracked -- the "Shaokang Project."
In fact, since Chiang Kai-shek's defeat and retreat to the southeast, this chairman of the CPPCC National Committee, who cherishes the ideal of "three people's principles and one reunification of China," has almost never stopped infiltrating the mainland. After Lee Teng-hui took over Chiang Ching-kuo's seat, he also adhered to this "fine tradition" and further exploited Taiwan's financial superiority as the "Four Little Dragons" at that time to increase his infiltration and corruption of the mainland.
Taiwanese spy Zhang Zhipeng was born in Jilin in 1921 and joined the military command in 1941 as a secret agent. After the 1980s, when the two sides of the strait initially "lifted the ban," Zhang Zhipeng used his status as a Taiwan businessman as a cover to come to the mainland to engage in intelligence gathering and plotting against corruption and political party figures.
At the end of the 1980s, Zhang Zhipeng successfully became acquainted with Shao Zhengzong, director of the Ordnance Factory Administration Bureau of the Ordnance Department of the General Logistics Department of the People's Liberation Army, through the disguise of his own businessman.
Although he was a revolutionary soldier, Shao Zhengzong had already lost his proper integrity, and after his desire to "move abroad" and "earn a high remuneration" was agreed by Zhang Zhipeng, the cadre immediately made up his mind and boarded the thief ship.
With such a high-ranking and powerful cadre joining the intelligence network, Taiwan's so-called "Military Intelligence Bureau" was naturally overjoyed, and then it became a special agency called "Wang Shaokang Studio" for this purpose, responsible for communication and exchanges with the mainland intelligence network, and Shao Zhengzong naturally became the "Shaokang No. 1" in the studio.
After serving as an intelligence downline on the other side, Shao Zhengzong, under the fear of violating discipline and the temptation of money, could be described as conscientious and conscientious, not only selling confidential documents, but also arranging his cronies in various arsenals, and finally even responding to the demands of the party to plot against the senior cadres and generals of the People's Liberation Army beside him.
In this context, the "Shaokang Ii" with higher authority than the "Shaokang No. 1" was successfully plotted against and included in the intelligence agencies on the other side.
"Shaokang No. 2", Liu Liankun, a cadre of the rank of major general, served as the director of the Ordnance Department of the General Logistics Department of the People's Liberation Army in 1989, and was Shao Zhengzong's immediate superior. Because he had made mistakes before and lost the possibility of promotion, he was extremely dissatisfied with the central high-level, and it was precisely for this reason that after Shao Zhengzong found him, he was completely reduced to a Taiwan spy intelligence officer under the active operation of the other side.
In 1992, Major General Yuan, a Taiwan intelligence officer, personally went to the mainland to meet with Liu Liankun, and during the meeting, he promised Liu Liankun extremely high conditions of treatment, including but not limited to a "salary" of 3,500 US dollars per month, a "commission" for providing intelligence, and the "treatment" of major generals in the Nationalist Army, which made Liu Liankun, who had a "bright future," very excited. Since then, Liu Liankun has officially developed into an intelligence officer of Taiwan espionage, providing confidential information to the other side of the strait more than once, without any party spirit or principle.

The real climax of the incident occurred in the midst of the Taiwan Strait crisis in 1995-96.
Two large-scale military exercises have once made the islanders panic, and capable people have taken the latest plane to the United States, Singapore and other countries, while the active people have quickly withdrawn their money in the bank or "embroidered the red flag" overnight.
Unlike the panic and uneasiness of the islanders, Lee Teng-hui, the "supreme leader" who absolutely did not have a good end after the PLA landed on the island, on the contrary showed a kind of puzzling "confidence in his mind."
In fact, Lee Teng-hui's calmness does have its own reasons.
Long before the PLA held military exercises in the Taiwan Strait and nearby waters, Liu Liankun, a high-ranking personnel, had already conveyed to the Taiwan authorities some of the initial principles of this exercise, such as what kind of live fire, crossing the middle line of the strait, mobilizing submarine ships, and capturing outer islands; and the "three no's principle" to avoid intensifying the situation.
It is precisely because of Liu Liankun's "ventilated message" that Lee Teng-hui's "having no fear."
Liu Liankun
However, the so-called "success is also Xiao He defeat is also Xiao He". In 1996, when the Taiwan Strait crisis led to more severe relations between the mainland and the island, perhaps in order to win more votes in the next general election, perhaps to appease the panicked people on the island, or Lee Teng-hui's simple "big mouth" ...
In short, Lee Teng-hui actually said in public at a rally: "I know every move of the mainland very well." ”
After that, he even threw out such amazing words as "the missiles from the mainland are all empty packages" and "the authorities have prepared 18 sets of scripts to deal with the enemy", which not only won his voice, but also reminded the mainland from the side that there was indeed an internal problem.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="40" > epilogue</h1>
In 1999, after a long period of investigation, the personnel of the National Security Bureau finally borrowed the testimony of Taiwan spy Ye Bingnan and locked their eyes on Liu Liankun, a senior member of the army. In March 1999, the counter-espionage organs of the State Security Bureau conducted a unified operation and captured a large number of Taiwan spies, including Liu Liankun and other high-level personnel, and US spies.
In this regard, Zheng Zhipeng, who easily escaped back to the island, angrily scolded the Taiwan authorities: "We are desperately working in the back, but you have shaken everything out!" ”
However, no matter how much the "Military Intelligence Bureau" on the island jumps on its feet and scolds people, there is no room for this "leak of secrets" incident involving high-level personnel on the mainland. In July of the same year, Shao Zhengzong and Liu Liankun were sentenced to death after the trial, and the matter was reluctantly brought to an end.
