That's what I meant. It's not like they sneaked into closed airbase. They bought tickets or just entered with everyone else. The problem was there is specific law forbidding Taiwanese citizens from attending. They are not charged with anything.

Titles are often clickbait. That's why it's good to read the article:

"Usually, visitors are free to take pictures at air shows, but the U.S. military prohibited citizens of certain countries, including China and Taiwan, from entering the Osan Air Power Days event due to a recent series of illegal filming of Korean military facilities by Chinese people.

But the suspects violated the ban and secretly entered the air show venue to commit the illegal act."

The article also says " The police are currently reviewing whether to apply for an arrest warrant for them, the agency added. ".

So for now they are not even charged with anything. This is just badly written, clickbait article. It's not even clear if they broke the law by filming anything or just entering the air show while being Taiwanese. For all we know they were just escorted out after someone checked their documents and the author invented everything else.

This was during an air shop open to the public. Do you think they invited people to just walk around an army base? Or maybe there was some specific area the public could enter?

Ok, so legally the air base is like a shower and airplanes are like nude kids? Makes sense.

Aren't operational aircraft integral part of an air show? I never personally seen one but I can't imagine an air show without operational aircraft. And where does it say they took pictures of the facilities?

During an air show. A Show. For public. With planes. They took pictures of an air show.

" But the suspects violated the ban and secretly entered the air show venue to commit the illegal act. "

They entered an open venue but did it "secretly"? WTF? Basically they broke some "no pictures" rule of an air show but instead of being asked to leave the venue they are charged with spying. Pretty insane.

It would just be another system they could sell to other countries. That's it.

Why not just use birds? Birds fly for free.

You're giving him too much credit. His motives are:

  1. get richer

  2. have people kiss his ass so he can feel like a big boy

That's it.
