China and Taiwan are in a dispute right now about Chinese allegations that Taiwan has been using honey traps to recruit university exchange students as spies to sabotage activities. In one example there is an 18 year-old girl who is turned into an informer for the Taiwanese government due to her romantic involvement with an Taiwanese spy. According to the article this girl gave the Taiwanese government 100 pieces of information ranging from technological advances to matters of national security and she was compensated 45,000 yuan which is around $6,550.50 USD.
All of these allegations come at a very bad time because Beijing and Taiwan have been feuding due to the election of the Taiwanese president Tsai Ing-Weng. Tsai Ing-Weng wants an independent Taiwan and the Beijing government does not want that to happen.
