Liu liankun

Liu liankun

Liu liankun (1933-August 1999), born in Qiqihar City, Heilongjiang Province, is head of the Ordnance Department of the General Logistics Department of the people's Liberation Army.

In 1992, he became a spy for Taiwan and had the status of major general on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Shao Zhenzhong, former director of the ordnance Bureau of the General Logistics Department of post development, repeatedly leaked state secrets to the Taiwan army, which attracted the attention of our security department. After surveillance, all the stolen goods were obtained, and he was executed by injection in 1999.

Liu liankun has been a major general on both sides of the strait for seven years. After Liu liankun was instigated by Taiwan, he had a "positive attitude and excellent performance" and provided a large amount of important military intelligence from the mainland, especially the situation of military exercises on the mainland during Taiwan's "presidential" election in March 1996. Liu liankun was later arrested. At that time, the public opinion on Taiwan Island believed that on the one hand, it was due to the personnel strife and meritorious struggle within the military intelligence bureau, which made excessive use of Liu liankun. On the other hand, Lee Teng Hui's "dud theory" and "Eighteen scripts theory" accelerated the exposure of Liu Lian Kun.

Life of the characters

In 1989, Yin Zongwen, director of Taiwan's military intelligence bureau, took advantage of the opportunity of the mainland's opening up to the outside world and sent a large number of intelligence personnel to the mainland under the cover of "Taiwan businessmen". It was against this background that senior colonel Shao Zhengzong was instigated by Zhang Zhipeng, an agent of Taiwan's military intelligence bureau, code named "Shaokang No.1", and then Shao Zhengzong went to instigate his boss Liu liankun. In November 1992, Dazhu Wei, deputy director of the sixth division of Taiwan Military Intelligence Bureau, went to Guangzhou to meet Liu liankun. He recruited Liu liankun to join Taiwan Military Intelligence Bureau, code named "Shaokang No.2", and granted Liu liankun the rank of major general of the national army, becoming the first spy to hold the rank of major general on both sides of the Strait.

In 1996, the PLA conducted large-scale military exercises, and the two sides were at loggerheads. Liu liankun, on the other hand, provided relevant information to Taiwan's Military Intelligence Bureau three months before the start of the military exercise. After obtaining accurate information, Taiwan took targeted defense measures in military affairs; on the other hand, it transmitted the information to the United States, requesting the United States to intervene in the situation in the Taiwan Strait. Frequent preemption by rivals has made the mainland feel that there are internal leaks. In addition, the leaked intelligence is highly classified, which further narrows the scope of investigation. In March 1999, Liu liankun was targeted. The mainland's anti espionage organs took unified action and arrested Liu liankun and other people involved in the case. After trial, Liu liankun confessed his espionage and was sentenced to death by the military court, depriving him of his political rights for life. Liu liankun was executed in August 1999.

Case evaluation

Liu liankun case is the most influential case involving Taiwan spies since the founding of new China. In 1992, Liu liankun, a PLA major general, began to work for him under the inducement of spies from Taiwan's "Military Intelligence Bureau.". At the first meeting, Taiwan sent Wang Baoyuan (a pseudonym), deputy director of the six divisions of the "military intelligence bureau", into the mainland to meet Liu liankun in Guangzhou. After careful arrangement, Wang Baoyuan and Liu liankun finally met in Guangzhou Yuexiu Park. At first, Liu liankun was a little nervous. After the meeting, the two sides went to dongfangxuan hotel in Guangzhou. At the dinner table, the atmosphere becomes relaxed. During this period, Wang Baoyuan informed Liu liankun of his treatment, contact information, key work, etc. - compared with the treatment of major general of Taiwan army, his monthly salary was 3500 US dollars (about NT $90000 in 1992), and he was additionally given a "work bonus"; for each batch of information provided, Taiwan paid as little as NT $400000, but more than one million, which was transferred from Taiwan to overseas bank After retirement, the "military intelligence bureau" will take care of their life and welfare, and arrange them to live abroad or in Taiwan according to their personal wishes. To show that he attached importance to the meeting, Wang Baoyuan took out a $20000 red envelope as a gift to Liu liankun. Liu liankun "returned" 12 confidential documents.

Liu liankun provided a large amount of confidential information to Taiwan during the seven years from his "entry" in 1992 to his capture in early 1999. However, no matter how deep he was hidden, he could not escape the severe punishment of the law in the end.
