Beware of Foreign Infiltration!

China: Cases of Espionage Recruitment Tactics Exposed! (4.9.2025)

In another case, a former official from a central government ministry was manipulated by foreign diplomats during an overseas posting. Over several years, he handed over thousands of classified files, including top-secret documents, and was eventually sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve in 2019.

Several other cases highlighted how “easy money” schemes were used to recruit Chinese nationals through online job offers. Recruits were tasked to photograph military facilities or ships and were paid tens of thousands of yuan, leading to long prison sentences once apprehended.

The MSS reminded the public that foreign espionage operatives “will stop at nothing” to infiltrate and steal secrets. Citizens were urged to stay vigilant, resist temptations, and report suspicious activities via hotline 12339, the official website, or local security authorities.
