Renegade 'saviour'
In 1988 Taiwan was racing to build its first nuclear bomb, but one military scientist put a stop to that when he defected to the United States and exposed those plans. Taiwan's enemy, the Communist government of China, had been building up its nuclear arsenal since the 1960s, and the Taiwanese were terrified this would be unleashed on the island. When Mr Chang was recruited by the CIA in the early 1980s, he was the deputy director at Taiwan's Institute of Nuclear Energy Research, which was responsible for the nuclear weapons programme. As one of Taiwan's key nuclear scientists, he enjoyed a life of privilege and a lucrative salary. China has in recent years threatened to attack if Taiwan ever deployed nuclear weapons.
