The Military Intelligence Bureau (MIB; Chinese: 國防部軍事情報局; or TMIB[1]: p.250 ) is an intelligence agency directly under the General Staff Headquarters of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of China. Its main task is to collect information about China's political and military activities, and it is also the only espionage operative unit of Taiwan.[2]

The Military Intelligence Bureau was reorganized and established after the Jiangnan case in 1985, its predecessor being the Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense.[3]
