Beijing claims the self-ruled island as part of its territory and has threatened to use force to bring it under its control.
The defendant, identified by his family name Chen, was convicted of violating the Criminal Code of the Armed Forces for passing the documents for a payment of NT$80,000 ($2,700), the court said in a statement.
In February 2023, Chen obtained electronic files of military secret-level documents from a classmate under the pretext of “preparing for supervision by his superiors”, printed them out and took them out of the camp.

Local newspaper Liberty Times reported that Chen was a former Marines sergeant addicted to online gaming and owed huge debts.
He can appeal the ruling.
