Chinese security investigators have rounded up 24 Taiwanese and 19 Chinese who authorities say have confessed to spying for Taiwan, the official New China News Agency reported.

The report did not further identify those detained or say what sort of spying they allegedly conducted. Taiwanese Vice President Annette Lu dismissed the report as China's latest attempt to embarrass President Chen Shui-bian ahead of a March 20 presidential election.
