Claiming 90% of ROC Armed Forces are Communist Spies: MOFA Press Release Falsely Claims Nikkei Clarified

In response to a *Nikkei* report claiming 90% of Taiwanese military officers become communist spies after retirement, the ROC Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) issued a press release claiming the news agency had clarified the matter. However, fact-checking reveals that *Nikkei*'s brief statement only clarified that the report did not represent the agency's stance, leading to accusations that MOFA is engaging in self-deception and raising concerns about the government's attention to national security and military issues.
