Beijing's spy networks in the United States include up to 25,000 Chinese intelligence officers and more than 15,000 recruited agents who have stepped up offensive spying activities since 2012, according to a Chinese dissident with close ties to Beijing's military and intelligence establishment.Story here.
Guo Wengui, a billionaire businessman who broke with the regime several months ago, said in an interview that he has close ties to the Ministry of State Security (MSS), the civilian intelligence service, and the military spy service of the People's Liberation Army (PLA).
"I know the Chinese spy system very, very well," Guo said, speaking through an interpreter, in his first American interview. "I have information about very minute details about how it operates."
Guo said he learned about Chinese spy activities from Ma Jian, a former MSS vice minister, and Ji Shengde, former PLA military intelligence chief.
Ma was director of MSS's No. 8 Bureau, in charge of counterintelligence against foreign targets—including diplomats, businessmen, and reporters—until he was swept up in a Beijing power struggle in December 2015. He was expelled from the Communist Party and imprisoned in January.
Guo said Ma was imprisoned because he had uncovered details of corruption by China's highest-ranking anti-corruption official, Wang Qishan.
Prediction. This story will be ignored for two reasons...
1. The media, neo-cons, establishment, elements of the defense community and both political parties want to focus on Russia.
2. Business wants to get ahold of that MYTHICAL Chinese middle class and will sell their own mother to the devil to get it...selling out the nation is a small price to pay when it comes to profit.
Ok, maybe that was a bit tinfoil hattish but you have a Chinese national and former member of the Communist party making these claims and I bet they won't make national news.
Amazing. You're worried about Russia, the bear across the lake that is just minding his own business but ignore that enormous Red Dragon right behind you that wants to devour you whole? Just plain wow.
