When it comes to catching spies, some people are not happy. In their eyes, nowadays, tolerance and relaxation are the main tone, and catching spies belongs to "extreme", "radical", "ultra-left", and even "Cultural Revolution".

However, the truth has repeatedly slapped them in the face.

Not to mention anything else, in Beijing's top news unit research unit, how many spies have been caught with names, surnames, faces, and faces? China's security organs have investigated and cracked a number of major cases in the field of science and technology security, including the Huang Yu case, the Zhang Jiange case, and the Kaisheng Rongying case, in accordance with the law. As far as the public part is concerned, it has effectively shattered the vicious illusions of the United States and Western countries about my "low-end lock-in" and disrupted their rhythm.

The Ministry of State Security said this morning that foreign spy agencies have escalated their infiltration and theft of secrets in China's scientific and technological fields.

In the past, he stole your intelligence, wanted to know what you were thinking, what you were doing, and kept track of China's scientific research trends in order to decide whether to beat a rabbit or carry out a surgical strike. Now the situation has changed, and in some very competitive fields, stealing China's scientific intelligence can effectively stop China's rise. The latest situation is that in the past in the field of foreign necks, the Chinese wrestled their wrists and won decisive victories, and in turn, China has the qualifications and ability to counter the neck, and foreign indirect agencies are eager to obtain this information.

In terms of the infiltration of color revolutions, foreign spy agencies focus on the guidance of ideological discourse, and the design of topics has become particularly important to bring the wind direction and rhythm. In the first few decades, it was mainly achieved by well-known public figures and the leading media who obeyed their words, and in the first year of the collapse of public knowledge and for some time afterward, their ideological infiltration became difficult, and for a while they were like flies without a head, unable to find a specific direction. Later, they gradually stabilized, and they skillfully instigated some so-called NGOs to set up some third-level issues, and slowly arched to the second-level issues, and then concentrated on the first-level issues. The representative character here does not have a face, but like a Sichuan opera performance, several faces change back and forth, so that you can't figure out what kind of clothes he wears in red, green, black, and what kind of clothes.

Even if you see the black spots on his body and sniff it, yes, it tastes right, it's him. But as soon as he took off his clothes, the red vest was tightly attached to the red leather pants, and when he touched it, it was slippery and greasy, and he couldn't catch it at all. Who the hell is he? It's you again, and the vision of our counterintelligence camp has become extremely blurred.

An important law of the counter-espionage struggle is that you have me, I have you, and the spies who are lurking deep do not always come out to speak out, they focus on the overall political situation and the overall ideological situation, and control the strategy as a whole, while those rhythm spies who speak out every day sometimes cater to the mainstream public opinion in the country, sometimes the holy condescends to reason, and sometimes talks about the east and then the west, and beats the dog and the chicken for a while, and in the pile of seemingly correct words, the Indian code is densely infiltrated.

The Ministry of State Security under the leadership of Comrade Chen Yixin issued a special article this morning stressing the complexity and arduousness of the anti-espionage struggle. The article says: As profound and complex changes have taken place in the internal and external environment of the mainland's development, and the international competition around the commanding heights of science and technology has become unprecedentedly fierce, a few Western countries have not hesitated to politicize, instrumentalize, and weaponize scientific and technological innovation in order to maintain their hegemony, and have mobilized the forces of the whole government and the whole society to continuously strengthen containment and suppression of China's science and technology field by unscrupulous means and at any cost.

The article points out that its espionage and intelligence organs have continuously escalated their infiltration and theft of secrets against China, and their targets have become more diverse and their methods have become more covert, seriously threatening China's scientific and technological security and even national security.

- Carrying out espionage and stealing secrets. Through various means, such as emotional co-optation, erosion and corruption, money bribery, and providing assistance, we have done everything possible to win over cadres, scientific research personnel, and even young students who are plotting against our organs, in an attempt to steal cutting-edge scientific research results and sensitive scientific and technological information.

- Carrying out cyber attacks. Large-scale, large-scale, and high-intensity cyber attacks have been carried out on a large scale, involving a large number of key units such as artificial intelligence, chip research and production, clean energy, and advanced manufacturing, in a vain attempt to achieve malicious manipulation of China's key areas.

-- Carrying out intelligence infiltration. With the help of investigation and consulting companies, non-governmental organizations, professional research institutions, etc., through paid consulting, business cooperation and other means to circumvent China's laws and regulations and industry supervision, and then seize strategic resources and collect insider intelligence.

- Carrying out nuisance framing. Abuse of coercion and inducement, investigation and nuisance, judicial framing, long-term seizure and other means to create a "chilling effect".

Sima Nan: After the arrest of Huang Yu and Zhang Jiange, the counter-espionage situation is still grim

There's a question I haven't figured out, if you're not a thief, and someone else reinforces the security door, why are you in a hurry to scold with a white face? If you don't have a relationship with a spy, why are you so disgusted with catching a spy? Ah Er next door didn't steal, he was just whitewashing, the question is whitewashing?

From this point of view, there may be two types of spies:

One is to pretend to be an ordinary person and remain silent, and every sentence must be calculated by big data, so as not to expose his behavior. This type of spy is a low-key spy who hides in the crowd and is extremely difficult to recognize.

There is another category, who doesn't regard himself as an ordinary person, belongs to the chattering type, squirrel jumping type, he always makes movement in the symphony orchestra, and even fantasizes about holding it back. This type of spy can be called a high-profile spy and a rhythm spy.
