"Sir, you don't want such a photo to be published in the newspaper, do you?"

“Sir, you don’t want such a photo to be published in the newspaper, do you?” Faced with the threat from foreign spy and intelligence agencies, Zhang was full of remorse, but there was nothing he could do. Recently, the state security organs cracked a case of espionage in which a public employee of a Chinese agency stationed abroad was instigated by a foreign espionage and intelligence agency.

Hunted: Charming eyes

Zhang, before the case, was a public employee of a foreign agency. During his tenure abroad, he frequently frequented high-end venues that were lively and luxurious, pushing cups and changing lamps. At a banquet, Zhang got acquainted with Li, a member of an overseas entrepreneur association, and the two gradually got acquainted with each other. After that, Li made a generous move and invited Zhang to participate in the dinner in various names, which quickly brought them closer to each other and won Zhang’s trust.

As the friendship between the two became deeper and deeper, Zhang hinted to Li that he was interested in “special entertainment venues” during a drinking and chatting session, and Li keenly captured this information and quickly reported to him “online”. As everyone knows, a well-designed “peach-colored script killing” for Zhang has quietly kicked off.

It is designed: Bad hobby violent weakness

Under the command of foreign espionage and intelligence agencies, Li did what he liked and invited Zhang to a local erotic place, where a conspiracy was brewing in a secret and ambiguous atmosphere, and Zhang was already trapped in it but did not know it, and his prostitution was caught red-handed by “local law enforcement officers”. Faced with conclusive evidence, Zhang could only turn to Li for help. While pretending to be comforted, Li contacted a reliable “brother” for him – a member of a foreign spy intelligence agency.

The “brother” quickly arrived at the scene, and after several negotiations, Zhang “regained his freedom”. At this time, Zhang, who was played with in the “script”, did not know that every scene from pushing the cup to changing the lamp to being arrested for soliciting prostitutes had already been recorded by the cameras of overseas espionage and intelligence agencies, and they used it as a bargaining chip to force Zhang to become a pawn for his use.

Threatened: Leaking secrets and falling into the abyss

Soon after the incident, Li’s “brother” met with Zhang again, revealed his identity as a member of the espionage and intelligence agency, and coerced Zhang to cooperate with him and collect my internal information under the threat of entering and leaving Fengyue Field as a public official. Zhang reached a “cooperation” under the coercion and inducement of the other party, and took advantage of the convenience of his work to provide a large amount of China’s internal confidential information to foreign espionage and intelligence organs by printing, photographing, writing, dictating, and other means, and received large sums of money from the other party. When he was about to leave his post and return to China, he even signed a “letter of commitment” with foreign espionage and intelligence agencies, agreeing to continue to work and provide intelligence for the other side after returning to China, thus endangering China’s national security.

The legal net is magnificent, negligent but not leaky. After careful investigation by the state security organs, criminal coercive measures were taken against Zhang in accordance with law after he returned to China. In the end, Zhang was severely punished by the law for the crime of providing state secrets to foreign spy and intelligence agencies.

Reminder from the state security organs

It is normal for personnel stationed abroad to be in a foreign country, far away from relatives and friends, to participate in various interpersonal and social activities, and some of them are also required for work. However, in foreign exchanges, it is necessary to raise awareness of security precautions, consciously abide by rules and disciplines, strictly exercise self-restraint, fully understand the importance, sensitivity, and confidentiality of one’s own position and the information in one’s possession, and never disclose sensitive information at will, which is not only the protection of state secrets, but also the responsibility for personal safety.

If you make a mistake at the moment, you should stop the precipice in time. If you find that you have been co-opted, coerced and deceived abroad, you should stay calm, report and report in a timely manner on the premise of ensuring your own safety, and actively seek the protection and assistance of the unit or organization stationed abroad. On the basis of article 55 of the “Counter-espionage Law of the People’s Republic of China”, those who are coerced or tricked into participating in espionage or hostile organizations outside the territory of the People’s Republic of China, engage in activities that endanger the national security of the People’s Republic of China, and promptly truthfully explain the situation to the People’s Republic of China’s institutions stationed abroad, or promptly and truthfully explain the situation to the state security organs directly or through their units after entering the country, and show repentance, may not be pursued.
