Campagne contre l’espionnage en Chine, qui sont les vrais espions ?

China has put in place a vast campaign to fight espionage. On August 1, 2023, the Ministry of State Security of China published its first order of social mobilization through WeChat, a social media platform with more than a billion users. It stated that the entire society must mobilize to fight espionage and called on all citizens to denounce the spies, announcing that those who would do so would be rewarded. By the time the entire society is mobilized, people have unexpectedly discovered that the real spies are in fact the high-ranking Chinese officials. Born in 1952, Jin Yinan is, according to public information, an expert on the military within the Chinese Communist Party, PCC. Graduated from the General Major, he was director of the Institute of Strategic Studies of the National Defense University of China. According to a report by Voice of America on August 29, Jin Yinan revealed during a meeting in Huikou a number of cases of espionage against high-ranking officials who were not subject to public prosecution. These are in particular the Red Princes and diplomatic envoys. Some of them worked simultaneously for the intelligence services of five countries, and there have already been secret executions. Let's look at the first case. Tong Danning was a former director of the Chinese Social Security Foundation. He was suspected of espionage, placed in detention on February 21, 2004 and officially arrested on March 26, 2004. Then executed on March 23, 2006. The degenerate communists abound. Tong Danning had disclosed all the documents from the State Department and the Central Office to the Taiwanese authorities and provided them with continuous information. He even received a presidential award from Taiwan. Thanks to his revelations about the change in the exchange rate of the RMB, Taiwan avoided a loss of 200 billion new Taiwanese dollars, or more than 6.2 billion US dollars. Let's look at the second case. In mid-July 2003, Ke Xiaohong, former secretary-general of the Liaison Office of the Central Government of the PCC in Hong Kong, was secretly taken to Beijing and then dismissed from his post in September. After working for the newspaper Liberation Army Daily, a media outlet of the PCC held by the army, Ke was mutated to the Hong Kong branch of the press agency Xinhua in 1989. At the time of the incident, he had already stayed in Hong Kong for 14 years, occupying positions that allowed him to collect classified documents and participate in high-level confidential meetings. Ke Xiaohong was the secretary-general of the Liaison Office of the Central Government in the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong. He had been providing information to Great Britain for a long time. During the Sino-British negotiations on the issue of Hong Kong, the Chinese leaders knew that there was a mole, but who was it? It was only in 2003 that they discovered who it was. At the time, he was head of the Documentation Division of the Press Agency Xinhua in Hong Kong, so it was very convenient for him to provide documents. When he was arrested, he was already secretary-general of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in Hong Kong. Let's look at the third case. Li Bin was a special envoy for the affairs of the Korean Peninsula. The authorities of Beijing arrested him in December 2006 and sentenced him to seven years in prison for economic offenses. Li Bin, the special envoy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the affairs of the Korean Peninsula, is a huge scandal for us. He was sentenced to a relatively light sentence of seven or eight years, no more. Why? To save our face. Look around the world, in the diplomatic sphere, which ambassador of a country works as a special agent for other countries? It never happens. Jin In-ho has stated that many high-ranking officials who have been subjected to a thorough examination have been caught in blatant corruption, but that in fact, the real reason was the sale of information. The fourth case. Kang Rik-shin, a member of the Central Committee of the PCC, a member of the Central Commission for Disciplinary Inspection, secretary of the Party and general director of the Chinese National Nuclear Company, was arrested in 2010. Kang Rik-shin was secretary of the Party and general director of the Chinese National Nuclear Company. He was the only one among the CEOs of aerospace groups, naval construction and armaments of our arms industry to be an official member of the Central Committee and a member of the Central Commission for Disciplinary Inspection. He was misled and betrayed the situation of the country in terms of nuclear material. He was a very important figure for us. I say that it is absurd to say online that he embezzled such a sum of money. The truth is that the information he sold far exceeded our economic losses. The fifth case. Lu Jianhua was a member of one of the main Chinese think tanks. He was used to providing research reports on politics directly to the former leader of the PCC Hu Jintao. The PCC accuses him of having submitted articles to foreign countries since 2003, of which 18 were on China's most important military secrets. The young genius of the Academy of Social Sciences, Lu Jianhua, was a renowned sociologist, a guest on the national CCTV channel. He often spoke eloquently on television on various social issues. He worked for five intelligence agencies, the United States, Russia, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. Whatever the one who paid him, he worked for them. Jin In-ho also indicated that these communists who sell information come from all walks of life, and the army is no exception. Let's look at the sixth case. Xu Junping is a former head of the Ministry of Defense of the People's Republic of China, head of the Department in charge of Oceania and North America. In December 2000, Xu made a defect in favor of the United States during a delegation visit. The information he brought to the Americans did not concern the number of missiles we have, nor the accuracy of our missiles or technical information. What information did he bring to the Americans? It was about the character of our leaders, their habits, their style of decision-making and the way they make their decisions. This information is crucial. He was very close to the leaders of the military commission. Why should we fight spies in our society today? What are the Lambda people for? They are not even worthy of a trade war, let alone espionage. If the American CIA wants to implant spies in China, what is more effective? Transform a PCC official or use 10 Lambda citizens. Ordinary people do not even know the secrets of the outside world. They lead a difficult life, without any protection of private life, in a context of big data and omnipresent surveillance.
