On June 20, 2024, at 11:02 p.m., the Supreme Court rejected the appeal by prosecutors against the sentences of retired Air Force Major General Qian Yaodong and Lieutenant Colonel Wei Xianyi, who were accused of acting as spies for a Hong Kong businessman with ties to China. Despite an attempt by prosecutors to seek harsher punishments, the ruling of probation and fines imposed by the lower courts was upheld, concluding the scandal that originated from the fugitive Hong Kong businessman Xie Xichang's recruitment activities in Taiwan. The court highlighted the espionage activities involving various retired military personnel and their acceptance of favors as being in violation of national security laws.
