tourist not spy (update)

Taipei Times: Accused ‘spy’ is released


A Chinese tourist who was arrested on Monday for entering a military facility and taking pictures was released on his own recognizance late on Tuesday night.
Prosecutor Tseng Chun-tseh (曾俊哲) ordered the man’s release and did not ban him from leaving Taiwan.


well fat chance he'll come back for a court appearance

Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) caucus secretary-general Yang Chiung-ying (楊瓊瓔) said: “we respect the judiciary’s decision [to release him]. After all, the judiciary released him after conducting a thorough investigation.”

in other words: the KMT is desperate not to have its Chinese-tourist policy tarnished by even this single case
