Lee Jye (zh-t|t=李傑, born June 6, 1940) is a former defense minister of the Republic of China (Taiwan).

Biography

He was born in Tianjin on June 6, 1940, and fled to Taiwan with family at the end of the Chinese Civil War.

He originally joined the then ruling Kuomintang in the early days of his military career, but was later expelled by the KMT, who lost power after 2000 presidential election, for complying with President Chen Shui-bian's orders to remove all Chiang Kai-shek statues from military bases.

He was head of the Ministry of National Defense of the Republic of China, and was an admiral in the Republic of China Navy when he retired.
