According to United Daily News, Li Jian, an ex-deputy director of the ministry's Taiwan Affairs Office, was arrested on Lunar New Year's eve for allegedly spying for Taiwan. In 1997, Li performed a very important role in a cross-strait agreement to launch a new system of an “offshore transport center” that enables faster shipping between Taiwan and China. He left the ministry to become a businessman, but in 2000 Chinese authorities started monitoring his activities after suspicions arose from his ties with Taiwan.
