Since the defeat of the Kuomintang in Taiwan in 1949, the United States has been preventing China from recovering Taiwan, and has trained a large number of spies on the island for this purpose. However, with the continuous improvement of China's national strength, the Taiwan authorities still ignore the goodwill of the mainland and continue to collude with external forces, making the situation in the Taiwan Strait continue to heat up.
In recent years, the United States has become hostile to China to an unprecedented level, and various means have emerged one after another. At the same time, the United States has also sent a large number of spies to operate on the mainland and Taiwan, and in addition to collecting intelligence, it is also secretly carrying out sabotage activities.
Whenever we see spies from outside forces being arrested, we all know that there must be many unsung heroes behind this who have been hidden for a long time. We live in a time of peace, but in reality, the struggle on the hidden front has become white-hot.
At the end of September 2018, ** police officer appeared in the public eye for the first time, and although he sat behind a screen for an interview, the purpose was clearly for his safety.
This unsung hero is Li Xiang, a close comrade-in-arms of Comrade Wu Jianguo from the **Autonomous Region Hall. What is touching is that Wu Jianguo's hero held on to the border line full of danger through the eyes of the enemy for 10 years, and also ventured to lurk and fight continuously in a foreign land where the situation was extremely complicated, and finally died at work.
Wu Jianguo's interview attracted attention from all walks of life, and an article praising him was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. He is known as "the unsung hero of the elephant invisible, the loud voice is silent, and the wisdom and courage are brave", and he is willing to dedicate himself to the maintenance of the best people, and has no regrets.
His deeds inspire us, and although his name is unknown, his deeds live on forever. Now, Bill Burns, the director of the U.S. Intelligence Agency, publicly flaunted his "exploits in conversational intelligence work" at the Aspen Security Forum, saying that the CIA had made significant progress in rebuilding its intelligence network in China and was working to build a strong manpower (arranging spy infiltration) to ensure U.S. intelligence-gathering capabilities and supplement other sources of intelligence.
But let's not forget that the efforts and efforts of the unsung heroes also deserve our respect and praise. Their names are unknown, but their deeds live on forever.
Burns' views have attracted a lot of attention around the world. Biden also praised Burns' talent, noting in a statement that "the intelligence provided by Burns gives our country an important strategic advantage......*The Intelligence Agency is responding responsibly and responsibly to the major challenges facing our nation through a deliberate approach. ”
It is said that if Burns's remarks are true, then the C.I.A. may have re-established its intelligence network in China and deployed a large number of spies on the mainland. He also revealed that the CIA's intelligence agencies in China have indeed suffered major blows over the past 10 years, with at least 30 spies** and one killed in the line of duty.
Interestingly, a Bloomberg report in early November 2021 also referred to a major setback in the CIA's intelligence efforts on China. In the article, Burns and others acknowledge that the CIA's intelligence network in China has been severely damaged and that it is increasingly difficult for spies to obtain information.
Taken together, the CIA may have suffered a major defeat in China over the past 10 years.
On May 21, 2017, U.S. diplomat** published an article titled "Does China Have an Advantage in Counterespionage?" The report is mainly based on a report published by three reporters from the New York Times, which summarizes the cases of China's ** successful elimination of CIA intelligence informants in recent years.
In the report, it is mentioned that between 2010 and 2012, China successfully "eliminated 12 CIA informants (spies)." In addition to this, the report also emphasizes that, according to the White House**, the number of US intelligence personnel lost by China is already comparable to the losses caused during the Soviet and Russian periods due to the defections of former CIA and FBI employees Aldrich Ames and Robert Hansen.
The two former employees leaked intelligence operations to Moscow for many years. In addition, according to a 2018 AFP survey, the number of Chinese spies reached 110,000, of which about 50,000 were foreigners, of which the Japanese and Americans were the most, followed by EU countries.
Surprisingly, the majority of these 110,000 people are Chinese nationals, including ethnic Chinese and Chinese.
The first thing is that the Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress amended the Counter-espionage Law at its second meeting on April 24, 2023, and the revised Counter-espionage Law of the People's Republic of China was voted and passed by the second meeting of the Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress on April 26 and will take effect on July 1, 2023.
The newly revised "Counter-espionage Law of the People's Republic of China" not only clearly defines "taking refuge in espionage organizations and their persons" and "carrying out cyber attacks against state organs, secret-related units or critical information infrastructure" as espionage acts, but also clearly stipulates that any espionage organization and its ** persons who engage in espionage activities against third countries within the territory of China and endanger the People's Republic of China will be punished by law.
First, July 1, the day the new version of the "Counter-espionage Law of the People's Republic of China" came into effect. The U.S. Embassy and Consulates in China commented on the extranet social media platform: Amendments to the Counter-Espionage Law of the People's Republic of China, which come into effect today, could create legal risks or uncertainties for foreign companies, journalists, academics and researchers.
Second, does this mean that employees of foreign companies, foreign journalists, so-called academics and researchers in China could be spies, or have been plotted to gather intelligence for the CIA?
In fact, this is an intelligence war waged by the United States against foreign countries, and it has long become a national policy of the United States. Since 1978, the U.S. Congress has passed the Intelligence Authorization Act every year, and its purpose is simple: to set out what important intelligence support needs to be provided in the coming year.
For example, at the end of December last year, Biden officially signed the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2023. The $857.9 billion in U.S. defense spending authorized under this bill in 2023 will fund agencies and programs under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Defense and the intelligence community, including military services, the Intelligence Agency, and the Bureau.
Burns revealed his intelligence work in Chinese mainland at a time of tension between China and the United States, which may have been to cover up real spies in China and put pressure, especially psychological pressure, on China, so that CIA spies could take the opportunity to gather intelligence.
Or it may be that they want to flaunt their successes as a way to prove that they and the C.I.A. have first-class intelligence-gathering capabilities and security protections, so that allies can follow the United States.
However, the Chinese side has given a strong response to Burns' remarks, expressed concern and taken all necessary measures to resolutely defend it
Mao Ning's attitude is clear, once the United States violates our bottom line, we will fight back harshly! In the face of the United States' "doing everything", China needs to be fully prepared.
As *** said when he wrote "An Analysis of the Classes in Chinese Society": "The key to the success of the revolution is to distinguish between friend and foe." In the past, China's revolutions were not effective, mainly because we failed to unite real friends and recognize real enemies. ”
In addition, this incident has once again shown the world that the United States is doing everything to thwart China's rise, and we must raise our awareness of secrecy, and the Chinese people should understand that spies may be close to us.
Therefore, the public should be encouraged to actively fight against all harmful behaviors and be staunch defenders.
