Taiwan has charged two former state officials with violating the national security law by organising meetings between former senior military officers and Chinese intelligence personnel.

Those encounters allegedly allowed the Chinese to "contact and even recruit" ex-military officers to their network.

Prosecutors say the pair arranged 13 free trips to mainland China for 48 former officers from 2013 to 2018.

The men earlier denied they were recruiting spies for China.

The meetings also promoted China's unification with Taiwan, prosecutors say.

Retired rear admiral Hsia <deleted>-hsiang and ex-MP Lo Chih-ming face up to five years in jail if convicted.
