Secretive NSB General Kisses Maiden
"A Kiss is Just a Kiss" - Gene Kelly, 1951
By Wendell Minnick (Whiskey Mike) 顏文德
TAIPEI - Note to reader, the National Security Bureau (NSB) is a military organization, not civilian. It is like the U.S. CIA, but with domestic powers. Within the NSB is the Security Service Center (SSC), responsible for protecting the President and other Tier One political elites.
BTW: A hat tip to Ross Feingold for pointing this article out to me, as always his sense of humor over political mismanagement is spot on (@RossFeingold).
What makes this article of interest, is the extreme secrecy the NSB guards itself.
There are rarely scandals or even references to NSB operations in the media. At the end of this article of links to previous NSB articles I have written for your edification.
Regarding the term “Major General”, within the U.S. military it is a two-star general, but in Taiwan there is no equivalent to a U.S. one-star Brigadier General.
So, Xie is a one-star “Major General”. At that rank, he should be able to retire comfortably without too much complaint, if forced to retire.
One cultural issue that the readers should consider is that Taiwan is in the festive seasons of Chinese New Year and Lantern Festival (which just concluded), and drinking and merrymaking even by Tier One political and military officials/officers is not unusual.

已婚的國安局特勤中心少將謝靜華，日前於街邊醉吻年輕女子，過程還遭旁人錄下。國安局今天回應表示，他因此遭記兩大過處分，並列為優先汰除人員。 Xie Jinghua, a married Major General of the National Security Bureau's Special Service Center, recently kissed a young woman on the side of the street, and the process was recorded by others. The National Security Bureau responded that day and he was punished with two major demerits and listed as a priority for removal.
謝靜華曾任特勤中心萬里警衛室主任，前因體測爭議被調任為特勤中心研究委員，現因個人行為風紀問題，又遭調職。 Xie Jinghua used to be the director of the Wanli Guard Office of the Secret Service Center, and was previously transferred to the Research Committee of the Secret Service Center due to a controversy over physical testing, but now he has been transferred again due to personal behavior and discipline issues.
國安局今接受記者查詢後回應表示，特勤中心謝員個人營外違失行為日前遭媒體披露之後，國安局第一時間展開行政調查，並依獎懲作業程序及行為情節，予以記兩大過處分，列為優先汰除人員。另若查有違法情事，將依法移送究辦。 After being questioned by reporters today, the National Security Bureau responded that after the personal violations outside the camp of the Special Service Center were disclosed by the media a few days ago, the National Security Bureau immediately launched an administrative investigation, and according to the operating procedures for rewards and punishments and the circumstances of the behavior, they were given two major demerits and listed as priority for removal. In addition, if there is a violation of the law, it will be transferred for investigation in accordance with the law.
國安局表示，已對此案相關人員實施內部查察及儀測程序，至今未發現反情報相關疑慮。 The NSB said that it has carried out internal inspection and instrumental testing procedures for the personnel involved in the case, and has so far found no counterintelligence-related concerns.
國安局表示，國安局一向以最高標準要求同仁遵守工作紀律，若發生違法犯紀情事，均秉持勿枉勿縱原則，依法懲處，以正紀律。 The National Security Bureau said that they have always required its colleagues to abide by work discipline with the highest standards, and if there is a violation of law and discipline, it will uphold the principle of not ignoring such indulgences, and punish them in accordance with the law and discipline.
