TPP chair briefly takes out classified defense documents
TPP chair briefly takes out classified defense documents
2026-01-19
On Monday, the Legislative Yuan’s Foreign and National Defense Committee held a classified briefing on the proposed NT$1.25 trillion special national defense bill. But it seems that not everyone had the same definition of what classified means. According to DPP Lawmaker Puma Shen, TPP Chairman Huang Kuo-chang took classified materials away with him when leaving the meeting room. Fortunately, the documents were quickly recovered. Huang says he discovered the mistake himself and returned the documents. But his version of events contradicts that of convener Wang Ting-yu, who says that officials from the Ministry of National Defense retrieved the documents. Let’s hear the two versions of the story.
Huang Kuo-chang
Lawmaker (TPP)
When I was leaving, I took with me the materials prepared by the Ministry of National Defense with a stack of documents I had prepared myself. I only realized that I was taking the stack of materials from the defense ministry when I reached the stairs. So I went back to the committee and handed the papers back.
Wang Ting-yu
Foreign and National Defense Committee
Just shortly after Huang stepped out, officers from the Ministry of National Defense reported that the meeting had to be suspended, as classified documents had been taken out of the meeting room. It was right there and then that we asked the officer to leave the room and retrieve the documents.
Whenever the Foreign and National Defense Committee convenes a classified meeting, all participants are required to sign confidentiality agreements. In addition, any communication devices such as mobile phones are collected and stored centrally during the duration of the meeting. Military police hold a security sweep in advance, and attendees must pass through screening detectors. All classified reports bear a unique watermark and serial number corresponding to each participant, and the documents are placed on their assigned seats. At the end of the meeting, every participant is required to hand the classified materials back, making missing documents very clear.

夾帶機密? 黃國昌聲稱"自己發現繳回" 王定宇:軍官眼尖追回
2026-01-19
立法院外委會今天就1.25兆國防特別條例安排機密專報，但民進黨立委沈伯洋踢爆，民眾黨主席黃國昌離開會議室時，把機密資料帶走，還好迅速追回，黃國昌稱是自己發現繳回，召委王定宇則表示是國防部軍官發現追回。

“走的時候把國防部他們準備的書面資料，跟著我自己準備的那疊資料就一起帶走。我走到樓梯口的時候發現，怎麼這疊資料裡面有國防部的東西，就返回外交國防委員會，把東西交還給他們。”
[[立法院外交國防委員會召委 王定宇]]
“(黃國昌)走出去大概過一下下而已啦，國防部的軍官就馬上回報，他說會議暫停，我們的機密報告被帶出去了，所以我們當場裁示，請該名軍官趕快離開會議室，去把那一份報告追回來。”
事實上，立法院外交國防委員會召開機密會議，所有與會人員都得簽保密協定，通訊設備也需要統一保管，此外開會前駐衛警會先會議室掃描，人員進場也得經過掃描探測，進去後座位上會有報告書，上頭浮水印都不同，編號也對應特定人員，誰拿走幾號報告一目了然，離開會議室前都要把機密報告繳回。
