Two Taiwanese spies under house arrest in China: report Taipei (AFP) Jul 26, 2006 Two Taiwanese intelligence officers who went missing on the China-Vietnam border are believed to be under house arrest in China, a report on Wednesday quoted intelligence sources as saying. Colonels Chu Kung-hsun and Hsu Chang-kuo of the military intelligence bureau went to Vietnam on May 25 for a four-day mission but went missing after meeting a Chinese national security officer, the Taipei-based China Times reported. The paper cited unidentified intelligence sources as saying that the agents were believed to have been nabbed on the border and later put under house arrest in the southern Chinese province of Guangxi. It said the Chinese officer gained the trust of the colonels after trading intelligence information with them on the Internet and then requested the face-to-face meeting in Vietnam to trap them. Chinese intelligence authorities have denied any involvement and did not know of the colonels' whereabouts, according to the report.
