Lo Hsien-che

Major general Lo Hsieh-che (Chinese: 羅賢哲; pinyin: Luó Xiánzhé) was the head of the electronic communications and information department in the Republic of China Army until his arrest in early 2011 on charges of spying for the People's Republic of China. Lo is reported to be the highest-ranking officer arrested for allegedly spying for China, and thus represents Taiwan's worst espionage case in 50 years. Taiwan military court sentenced Lo to life imprisonment on 26 April 2012.

Military officials said Lo's office and house were raided by security authorities on 27 January 2011. Classified documents about current military electronic warfare and strategies were found.

China Times reported that he had been lured by sex and money; news reports dubbed the case as "honey trap". Lo is said to have met a woman in her thirties and got involved with her when he was stationed in Thailand between 2002 and 2005, and had been selling high-level secrets since 2004. The woman, said to hold an Australian passport and described as "tall, beautiful and chic," induced Lo to collect secrets for her. He reportedly received payment on a case by case basis. According to local media cited by the South China Morning Post, Lo may have received US$1 million on occasions. However, United Daily News said: "sexual and financial temptations aside, the choice was definitely related to Lo's confusion over the country's future and the loyalty of military servicemen."

China Post cites media reports that the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT), the de facto US mission in Taiwan, had been aware of the affair Lo was having in 2002 and had conducted their own investigation into it between 2002 and 2005. Although Lo was already married, he conducted his affair with the woman even after he returned to Taiwan. The media reported that his trips to the US with her had been monitored by US intelligence, who alerted Taipei to the liaison.

Following in his brother's footsteps, he entered the ROC Military Academy, where he graduated from the 51st Communications section. Being proficient in languages, he also studied in the United States Defense Language Institute in Monterey, California. He graduated from Colleges of Army and Warfare of the National Defense University. In 2000, he became Commander of the 73rd Communications unit of the 6th Army Corps, and was promoted to Colonel.

Lo was born in 1959 into a military family. His father is a Chinese veteran and his mother is from Penghu, Taiwan. His parents met and got married when his father was stationed in Penghu. Lo has an elder brother who is also in the military. Lo's father retired from the army, where he was a platoon leader, and took up farming in Guanshan, Taitung.
