way to jump to conclusions. there are a million explanations for this until the investigation goes underway. as far as i am concerned it could be the greens in Taiwan trying to play their political game again...as they always do

I don't do this often but I agree with pla101prc..Let the investigation take place and draw conclusions from that.

If anyone has the complete story in English please post!

You do realise that Taipei is KMT territory? If this was in DPP territory, I'd wouldn't be like that.

simple logic,Beijing intends to use this tourism stuff to integrate with Taiwan economically and socially,you think its worth it to risk a grand strategy over a few useless photos that you can acquire by a million other means?

Well some people are either very paranoid or very bored if they are treating this as espionage.

The article even contradicts itself, it said this guy asked for permission and went through the building taking pictures of everything including people, then it said this guy "sneaked in" and "immediately pulled out his camera".

If the people whom he took picture of didn't stop him then it's their fault, and if he took picture of everything then his camera would already be out.

They are sure trying very hard to incriminate a high tech industry owner who just took an interest in computers.

Yea...I have no issues regarding tourism, as Taiwan opening up three links allows it to become more like Singapore, a travel stopover place. Alot of Koreans I see at Taoyuan Airport already use it as a stopover place and some Westerners too.

But strict control measures must be put into place to protect military installations and also to prevent Chinese tourists wandering around and waltzing into a military base. I'd say the government and the tourist is to blame, first off the tourist should've known not to walk into military installations - common sense, and secondly the government failed to provide enough measures to stop things like this. Perhaps stricter punishments for something like this would help stop this sort of thing happening again? How about information videos on the plane and leaflets.

@pla101prc: Tourism can't tie Taiwan with China. The aim was to allow Taiwan to become something like Singapore, a stopover country since it is strategically located South of Korea, Japan. East of China, North of Australia and West of the Pacific Ocean, good stopover for those long haul flights. Chinese tourists havn't provided a huge boost, so economically speaking its not much of a biggie.

tourism in its current form and size isnt a big deal, but as a stage towards greater economic integration, that's gonna hurt the separatist faction bad. the thing is even the greens in Taiwan has money invested in the Mainland. and with FuJian getting special attention from Beijing now in economic development, that trend is gonna accelerate. Taiwan is already hugely dependent on the Mainland in economic terms, what Beijing want is some sort of control, which means they need more financial integration. compare to the potential benefits you think Beijing is stupid enough to let go of it all over a few stupid photos lol? in the end, if the bureaucrats in Taiwan wants it to be a big deal, then it will be a big deal, if they want it to be a mistake, then it'll be a mistake, if they want it to be espionage, then its espionage. its all politics
