The traitor Zhang Xiangbin leakedA confidential document was rebelled against by a foreign female officialYear.
In this era of material supremacy, some people cross the bottom line of the law in pursuit of wealth and end up in prison; Still others sacrifice their lives to make money.
However, in the process of pursuing money, Zhang Xiangbin went to the road of betraying the country and betrayed more than 5,000 important pieces of information.
With the advancement of science and technology, China is facing more and more foreign security threats. To this end, the state promulgated the "Counter-espionage Law of the People's Republic of China" in 2014, aiming to severely punish the act of revealing family secrets.
In an investigation of foreign spies, the staff of the Guangxi *** Department found a translator Zhang Xiangbin, who had been stationed abroad for ten years, and he maintained frequent contact with some foreign spies.
After investigation, Zhang Xiangbin's personal computer and storage media stored a large number of documents, including 59 top secret, 848 secret, and 541 secret.
This incident once again warns us that we must resolutely crack down on the criminal act of revealing family secrets and safeguard our interests and interests.
So, ** quickly sent personnel to Zhang Xiangbin's residence, took him to the police station, and interrogated him in detail. Seeing that the matter was revealed, Zhang Xiangbin confessed to ** that he had used the information he had to obtain illegal benefits for many years.
He recounted it very calmly, as if he had foreseen such an outcome. Subsequently, ** detained him in a detention center, and an in-depth investigation was conducted into his whereabouts.
In February 2019, Zhang Xiangbin was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve by the Baise Intermediate People's Court for espionage and illegally obtaining state secrets.
On November 1, on the CCTV news channel, Zhang Xiangbin, network administrator Chen Wei, and Qiu Degui, a reporter from the Propaganda Department of the county party committee, jointly reported domestic secrets, among which Zhang Xiangbin was the oldest, but his attitude was resolute.
He stated that although he knows that his repentance cannot change what has happened, he is still trying to identify the organization or individual that set him on the wrong path. His calmness and firmness make people deeply feel his sense of responsibility and determination.
Zhang Xiangbin, who is from rural Guangxi, was able to receive an education because of his parents' insistence despite his difficult life. In order to let him go to school, they smashed pots and sold iron, and borrowed money everywhere.
Despite his family's poverty, Zhang Xiangbin has always studied hard, hoping to change his destiny through knowledge. However, the trajectory of his life changed dramatically later, and he embarked on the path of **.
What is the reason for this?
Zhang Xiangbin's study career from primary school to high school was full of thirst for knowledge. He always silently holds books, no matter when and where, he does not forget to use the time to study, and his parents always tell him that knowledge can change his fate, so he has always put learning first.
Although he didn't fit in well in school, his good grades always made him stand out in school, and he was able to come out on top in every exam, which is a testament to his love of knowledge.
Although he was not as lively and playful as other children, his diligence and perseverance allowed him to finally achieve his dream.
After learning of Zhang's family plight, the teacher immediately applied to the school for assistance, and the school was deeply sympathetic and applied for relief from the superiors. This donation brought a touch of comfort to Zhang Xiangbin's poor family.
Zhang Xiangbin was deeply moved and determined to return to the school and the motherland in the future. During the college entrance examination, he lived up to expectations, achieved excellent results, and was successfully admitted to Beijing Foreign Chinese University.
His parents were excited when they heard the news, saying: "Son, you are our pride, and our family depends on you!" Neighbors in the village also sent their blessings to the family.
However, Beijing's high level of consumption as a provincial capital, coupled with university tuition, put pressure on Zhang's parents to continue borrowing money from friends and family.
In order to reduce the burden on his family, Zhang Xiangbin will also go out to work during the holidays to earn living expenses. At the same time, the local ** also gives their families a certain subsidy.
In 1988, he set foot on Beijing soil for the first time. The bustle and liveliness of the city filled him with yearning. In the communication with alumni from Tiannan and Haibei, he deeply understood that it is not enough to just bury one's head in learning, but to learn to socialize and integrate into the group is the key to growth.
Therefore, in addition to working hard in his studies, he also actively participated in various school activities and made many like-minded friends. During his four years at university, he gained valuable knowledge and accumulated a wealth of contacts.
His excellent grades and inquisitive attitude won him the love of his mentors. Soon after, the tutor discovered his family's hardship and not only helped him apply for a bursary, but also helped him find some translation jobs on campus.
Zhang Xiangbin treats his work rigorously and seriously, and has completed every task excellently, which has been highly recognized by the teacher. When he was about to graduate, his teacher took a fancy to his excellent abilities and recommended him an excellent company.
With the teacher's recommendation, Zhang Xiangbin successfully passed the company's interview and became an excellent translator. At work, Zhang Xiangbin always maintains a positive attitude and works hard, so he has been praised by his superiors many times.
His outstanding performance was also recognized by the company, and he was promoted to work as a translator in a national unit in 1992, and soon entered a front-line diplomatic position, responsible for translation work in Northeast Asia and Indochina.
Zhang Xiangbin was born poor, but he broke through with his own efforts. The state gave him great support and help when he was growing up. Therefore, from the moment he entered the state unit, he vowed to work hard and serve the country.
However, the world is unpredictable, and a few years later, this young man who was once full of enthusiasm and dreams has become a thief who everyone scolds. It is said that being bewitched by money, he betrayed his country.
In 1996, Zhang Xiangbin was sent to a country for permanent residence. In order to prevent him from being leaked, he was also specially trained in counter-espionage and counter-reconnaissance.
Although Zhang Xiangbin frequently went abroad for work, he was never able to adapt to the long-term life of living abroad. The difference in food and customs made him feel deeply strange.
He is an introvert and is not good at interacting with people, so he often misses his family and friends back home. Although he has strong foreign language skills and can successfully complete his work tasks, he cannot get rid of the depression in his heart.
Colleagues noticed that he was not in the right state, often comforted him, took him out to play during breaks, and his superiors also gave him meticulous care. He was very touched by these cares, but the loneliness deep inside him still did not completely dissipate.
At work, Zhang Xiangbin got acquainted with a unique foreign diplomat, A. Unlike other cold and serious diplomats, A is warm and friendly. Whenever Zhang Xiangbin encounters difficulties at work, A always lends a helping hand in time, and after the work is over, he will even pay out of his own pocket to invite Zhang Xiangbin to dinner and take him on a tour of the mountains and rivers.
The communication between the two was full of laughter and intimacy, and they often talked about some homely topics. With the help of A, Zhang Xiangbin made many friends from other countries, and his loneliness dissipated.
Then, A introduced the customs and culture of his country to Zhang Xiangbin, and asked about China's customs and customs. Zhang Xiangbin thought that A was only interested in Chinese culture, so he enthusiastically shared many domestic customs and myths.
However, Zhang Xiangbin did not realize that he was falling into the trap of the enemy step by step. After that, A often asked Zhang Xiangbin questions about China and mixed in some information that might be confidential.
The unsuspecting Zhang Xiangbin did not notice anything unusual, and he happily answered A's question. However, those who appear to be diplomats on the surface are in fact intelligence agents in the country, and their enthusiastic approach is only to obtain intelligence.
During this time, A became familiar with Zhang Xiangbin's character and extracted more and more confidential information from his mouth. One day, A took Zhang Xiangbin out to play, and said to Zhang Xiangbin at the checkout: "Our relationship is so good, you can also share some expenses." ”
Zhang Xiangbin readily agreed, and from then on, he would share a part of the cost when he played, and sometimes even took the initiative to invite guests.
Although Zhang Xiangbin has a good income, under the influence of A, he frequents high-end restaurants and entertainment venues, and a lot of wealth flows like flowing water. However, he has fallen into the mire of this luxurious life and cannot extricate himself.
In order to satisfy this lifestyle, he began to find ways to earn more money. Seeing that Zhang Xiangbin was deeply involved, A decided to have a showdown with him, and one day, he invited Zhang Xiangbin to a room and said to him: "Frankly speaking, I am a staff member of the Intelligence Bureau, seeing that you also want to make a lot of money, we might as well cooperate, if you can tell us the secrets you have, you will be richly rewarded." ”
Zhang Xiangbin resolutely rejected A's proposal and cut off contact with him. However, A took out a voice recorder, ** out the secrets he said inadvertently, and said to him: "These are all what you said, if you don't agree, your superiors will know that you have leaked the secrets."
If you're willing to work with us, we can help you cover it up and help you climb to higher heights. ”
Zhang Xiangbin was terrified when he heard this, although these secrets did not touch the core and did not pose a threat to the country, if he was discovered by his superiors, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to engage in such work, and he could only return to the countryside to become an ordinary worker.
Accustomed to a luxurious life, he could no longer withdraw from money, so after some struggle, he decided to betray the country and become a thief. Soon, A asked him for some confidential information, which he gave away without reservation in exchange for a generous reward.
Seeing this money, Zhang Xiangbin was overjoyed, and secretly rejoiced that he could make so much money with just one sentence.
Greed and lust encroached on his personality, and he began to provide as many as 14 top-secret and classified documents on domestic and foreign affairs to A and others. To make matters worse, he also ignored discipline during his time abroad, repeatedly **, maintained improper relationships with several foreign women, and even developed a lover relationship with **women** in the country and gave birth to two illegitimate children.
All this has left a lever for the country's spy and intelligence agencies to control and use it. A successfully allowed him to sit in a higher position, but under the protection of their group, his superiors did not find any news of his leak, and his mood gradually changed from panic to calm.
At first, he was just accepting intelligence assignments from A and others, but later, he became more and more excessive, and even took the initiative to keep secret information to A and others.
Zhang Xiangbin has put more effort into his job, so he has been recognized by his superiors and has been promoted to the deputy director of the Vietnam and Mongolia Division of the Second Department of the International Liaison Department. What is less well known, however, is that this diligent translator is actually a self-serving thief.
After more than ten years of wandering overseas, Zhang Xiangbin submitted his resignation to his superiors, hoping to return to live in China. Considering that he had been away for a long time, the organization immediately approved his request.
However, instead of feeling guilty for years of espionage, he found a way to "make a fortune". Before he left his post, he illegally copied a large number of classified documents from his office computer, and planned to gradually sell this information to spies in enemy countries.
He originally thought that he was making a lot of money in selling intelligence, but "the sky net is magnificent, negligent but not leaky", and his crime was finally discovered by **. He once vowed to serve the country, but now he is going down the road of ** because of greed, which is really intolerable.
Now, some people with knowledge and talent have gone so far as to keep their secrets out of their homes for their own personal gain. For example, Qiu Degui, a reporter born in the 90s, sold intelligence to foreign spies, thus earning tens of thousands of yuan, and was finally sentenced to 4 years in prison.
Another example is Zhang Qiang, a post-95 instructor, who betrayed 25 Zhang Jun** to foreign spies at a price of 50,000 yuan and was sentenced to 5 years in prison. What's more, Chen Wei, a network administrator born in the 80s, was in charge of the confidential information in a military research institute, but sold more than 5,500 confidential materials to a foreign spy for 55,000 yuan, and was finally sentenced to life imprisonment.
The actions of these people have not only seriously violated the security and interests of the country, but also made people deeply sad and regretful. Each of us should cherish our identity and responsibilities, abide by laws and regulations, and make our own contribution to the prosperity and development of the country.
In the course of the investigation, many people reported that the spies approached them as peers, pretending to be ordinary friends, and asked them some questions. By the time they realized the danger, they had already been seized by the spies, threatening them with this information to continue to provide information.
Nowadays, there are also some foreign spies on the network who pretend to be administrators, and they buy all kinds of information in order to **. If we find this situation, don't be fooled by money and report it to the relevant authorities in time.
At the same time, China is also constantly strengthening counter-espionage education to prevent more people from harming the country and themselves because of greed, just like Zhang Xiangbin, and leaving a stench for thousands of years.
