The MSS has discussed a case study involving the arrest and imprisonment of an individual known only as Cheng for 11.5 years for charges of providing state secrets illegally and bribery. Cheng, who was the deputy manager of a rare earth company, allegedly shared government research information with a contact from a foreign company in Shanghai. This case serves as a reminder of the dangers of sharing sensitive information with foreign entities, as it can have serious consequences on China’s national security.
In recent years, nearly 100 people and 11 companies have been involved in similar illegal activities. One example is the general manager of a Chinese agricultural technology company who was sentenced to 18 months in prison for selling patented rice seeds to an overseas intelligence agency at a higher price than the market rate. This case highlights the risks associated with selling proprietary information to foreign entities, which can impact China’s food security and economic stability.
A two-part documentary film was recently aired to shed light on the tactics used by foreign intelligence agencies, including infiltration, theft, and incitement. The film aimed to expose the methods employed by overseas spies to recruit and manipulate Chinese officials, researchers, and personnel working abroad. According to reports, these spies used a variety of tactics such as emotional solicitation, seduction, corruption, financial incentives, and offers of assistance to achieve their goals. These activities pose a significant threat to China’s national security, as highlighted in the film.
