MOFA ‘glad’ U.S. court rules in favor of officer from Taiwan

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) yesterday said it was glad that a U.S. court had not convicted a former senior State Department official of spying charges in a case involving an intelligence officer from Taiwan.

But the ministry declined further comment on the verdict handed down on Monday, which gave Donald Keyser one year and a day in prison for illegally removing classified documents and hiding his ties to the Taiwanese intelligence officer.

The ministry’s spokesman David Wang said the ministry and its representative office in Washington had been closely watching the Keyser case.
