A Taiwanese general has been detained on suspicion of spying for China - the highest-ranking officer involved in alleged espionage in decades.

Maj Gen Lo Hsieh-che was recruited by China in 2004 while he was stationed overseas, the defence ministry said.

But officials declined to comment on reports that he had worked in the US and had sold secrets about military communications networks.

His arrest follows an investigation launched last year.
