National security agencies issue warning: Beware of these spies' common 'tricks'
2025-07-28
According to the official account of the Ministry of National Security, in recent years, foreign spy and intelligence agencies have closely followed our party and government organs, national defense and military industry, scientific research institutions, colleges and universities and overseas institutions and other staff, and used various despicable means to collude and conspire, endangering our national security. Based on the characteristics of multiple cases, the editor will expose some common "tricks" used by spies for you. The "official" identity is attached to the group of overseas students who have long been coveted by overseas spy intelligence agencies. They may search for valuable targets through the visa process, appear as "visa officers" or other "official identities" to actively engage in matchmaking, take advantage of the lack of social experience and insufficient vigilance of international students, and use methods such as enthusiastic care and providing small favors to win over and enhance relationships, waiting for opportunities to implement countermeasures. The national security agency found that embassy personnel of a certain country contacted overseas returnee student Hao under the pretext of "visa review" and maintained contact with him. Under the deception of embassy personnel, Hao was unable to resist the temptation and accepted multiple banquets and part-time jobs offered by the country's spy intelligence agencies, falling into their trap. After returning to China, Hao continued to carry out espionage activities in my core and critical departments as requested by the other party. In the end, Hao was sentenced to life imprisonment for espionage and deprived of political rights for life. To cater to their preferences and coerce overseas personnel, overseas spy intelligence agencies have listed our overseas personnel as one of the key targets for hunting. They seize the characteristics of being in a foreign land, far away from family and friends, feeling lonely in their hearts, and having strong social interaction needs, and use various occasions to emotionally win over and corrupt them. Once overseas personnel relax their vigilance and fall into the "sweet trap" of foreign spy intelligence agencies, they may become "chess pieces" for espionage, posing a threat to our national security. The national security agency discovered that Zhang, a public official of a certain overseas institution, met Li, a member of a certain overseas entrepreneur association, at a banquet. Afterwards, through repeated contacts, Li gradually mastered Zhang's bad habits and carefully designed a "peach script killing" to threaten Zhang to reach a "cooperation" with him, providing me with a large amount of sensitive and confidential information for a fee. In the end, Zhang was severely punished by law for the crime of illegally providing state secrets to foreign countries. Street climbing and "hunting" of classified personnel. Overseas spy intelligence agencies and their agents regard personnel from our party and government agencies, military and industrial enterprises, national defense research institutes, and other departments as target groups. They may linger near these key classified units, secretly observe incoming and outgoing personnel, search for suitable candidates, and wait for opportunities to climb and strike up with them for reasons such as asking for directions and advice, and use any means necessary to establish contacts and implement persuasion. The national security agency discovered that Zhang, an employee of a state-owned enterprise in a certain area, was approached by a foreign man asking for directions on his way off work. Zhang, out of goodwill, guided him and was misled by the man to leave contact information for each other. Afterwards, the foreign man contacted Zhang multiple times to invite him to banquets, and requested internal information from Zhang on the grounds of promoting cooperation in related fields both domestically and internationally. He also expressed willingness to pay consulting fees. This request caught Zhang's attention, and he immediately called the 12339 national security agency reporting hotline to report the relevant situation. After investigation, it was found that the foreign man was a member of a spy intelligence agency of a certain country. He had been engaged in intelligence theft activities in China under the cover of a false identity for a long time. Zhang's report played a significant role in solving a certain case and was rewarded by the national security agency. The national security agencies remind that anti espionage requires the joint efforts of the whole society. Everyone is a guardian of national security. Only by fighting side by side and shining our eyes can the steel wall of national security be even stronger. ——Always sound the alarm bell. The broad masses of the people, especially those working in key positions, should consciously raise their awareness of anti espionage, enhance their awareness and literacy of safeguarding national security, resolutely resist the espionage, infiltration, and sabotage activities of foreign intelligence agencies, strictly abide by laws and regulations such as the National Security Law, the Anti Espionage Law, and the Law on Guarding State Secrets, resolutely overcome complacency, eliminate the mentality of taking chances, and jointly build a strong defense line for national security and the people. ——Be cautious in words and actions. The broad masses of the people, especially those working in key positions, should bear in mind that discipline is no small matter, that there are rules for making friends, maintain noble moral character and healthy lifestyle, actively purify their social circle, life circle, and friends circle, be cautious and cautious of friends, and resolutely not give any opportunities to overseas spy intelligence agency personnel or those with ulterior motives. ——A lost path leads back. According to the Anti Espionage Law, those who commit acts of espionage and voluntarily surrender or perform meritorious deeds may be given lighter, mitigated or exempted punishment; Those who have made significant contributions shall be rewarded. Those who are coerced or deceived overseas to participate in spy organizations or hostile organizations, engage in activities that endanger the national security of the People's Republic of China, and truthfully explain the situation to the People's Republic of China's overseas institutions in a timely manner, or directly or through their unit after entering the country, truthfully explain the situation to the national security organs, and show repentance, may not be pursued.
