Remember the Dongfeng missile leak case decades ago?
Soon after the appearance of the Dongfeng-31, which has been independently developed by the mainland for 13 years, appeared at the military parade, Western countries, especially United States, instantly mastered its various data, and it was almost the same.
And this kind of thing happens repeatedly, why can Western countries always accurately predict the mainland's confidential information?
Is there really an inner ghost?

Just this year, the United States government suddenly broke the big news that they had been spying on Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Luiz Inácio Lula for 50 years, during which time they wrote 819 3,300-page reports about him.
This news immediately caused a sensation around the world, and in fact, the mainland was the first victim in terms of surveillance.
And China has been the target of United States surveillance, and former United States CIA employee Edward · Snowden has said that the United States has been hacking into Chinese computers in various ways since 2009 to steal various secrets and government intelligence.
In order to deal with China, United States has also put forward the "Prism Plan", "Angry Horn Plan", "Strong Plan", "Upstream Plan" and so on.
According to the data, the United States National Security Agency (NSA) once remotely stole 97 billion pieces of global Internet data and 124 billion phone records in 30 days.
Even social media in mainland China has been targeted.
Wang Wenbin, a spokesman for the mainland's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said: "This means that no matter who you are, no matter where you are in the world, as long as you use online social platforms, there may be a 'boss' behind you."
And China is also one of the biggest victims of cyberattacks in the world, suffering from a massive number of cyberattacks almost every day, most of which come from the United States.
In 2011 alone, the United States National Security Agency carried out at least 231 cyberattacks, primarily against China and Russia, among others.
For example, the Wuhan Earthquake Monitoring Center suffered a cyberattack that uncovered a technically sophisticated backdoor malware with characteristics consistent with the modus operandi of United States intelligence agencies.
According to statistics, in 2020, China captured more than 42 million samples of computer malware, of which foreign malware mainly came from the United States, accounting for 53.1%.
There are about 19,000 malware control servers located in the United States, the highest in the world.
United States cyberattacks are global. The United States CIA exploits undisclosed backdoors and vulnerabilities to build "bot" networks and attack springboard networks around the world.
United States has carried out multiple attacks against targets in China, and Chinese security experts have even extracted samples of a cyberattack weapon called Dome 7.
The United States National Security Agency reportedly targeted 287 targets in 45 countries and territories for more than a decade.
It is worth noting that the United States is combining cyberattacks with traditional intelligence means to achieve greater destructive effects.
For example, United States planted the Stuxnet virus into the internal network of Iran's nuclear facilities through espionage, causing a large number of uranium enrichment centrifuges to be disabled.
The U.S. military has upgraded the Cyber Command to the 10th Joint Operations Command, viewing cyberspace as a "fifth battlefield."
The United States Department of Defense's cyber strategy report emphasizes the need to "strike first" in cyberspace.
Although United States' cyber surveillance and attacks have been repeatedly exposed and widely criticized by the international community, the United States continues to go its own way, continue to wantonly undermine cybersecurity, and trample on international norms and the sovereignty of other countries.
Although the United States has promised no more surveillance, in practice there is no restraint.
United States has proven to be the world's largest hacker empire and the most serious threat to global cybersecurity.
In addition to cyberattacks, Western countries have planted a large number of spies inside China.
Recently, China's National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center extracted a sample of spyware called "Second Date" while investigating a cyberattack on Northwestern Polytechnical University.
After analysis, the software was confirmed to be a cyber "espionage" weapon developed by the United States National Security Agency, operating covertly in thousands of network devices in many countries around the world.
Chinese security firm 360 also disclosed the technical characteristics of the United States NSA's Quantum attack platform, a cyberweapon against China.
The platform's ability to hijack the normal web browsing traffic of any Internet user anywhere in the world proves that cyberattacks in the United States are indiscriminate.
360 has also previously presented evidence that the United States National Security Agency regards the communications industry as a key target, and China is one of its key targets, and the number of infected units may reach the millions.
Western countries can obtain information about China in a variety of ways, including the surveillance techniques and espionage networks mentioned above, as well as traditional espionage methods such as the use of insider leaks.
In the face of such a grim situation, China has taken a series of countermeasures.
First, China has stepped up its counterintelligence investigations.
According to reports, the United States has admitted that the CIA's spy network in China has been dismantled, and the China task force set up by the United States for this purpose has also failed.
This shows that China has achieved remarkable results in counter-espionage work.
By strengthening relevant publicity, the public is encouraged to consciously check the possible existence of listening devices, so that counter-espionage awareness will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Many experts have also adopted tactics such as speaking cautiously and spreading disinformation to confuse the public in response to possible surveillance.
However, espionage in Western countries still has an impact on China.
Some important news was leaked ahead of schedule, which hindered the development of certain undertakings in China.
This reminds us that we still need to continue to work hard in counter-espionage work, and we must not slack off in the slightest.
It is worth mentioning that United States' surveillance activities are not only aimed at China, but also its allies.
Recently, a number of media in Denmark and Europe have exposed the scandal of the United States National Security Service spying on allies through Denmark's intelligence services.
Denmark reportedly aided United States eavesdropping with its knowledge and consent, and even set up a data center on an island for that purpose.
The surveillance targets key political figures in Germany, France, Sweden, Norway and Netherlands, including Denmark Ministry, Foreign Ministry and an arms manufacturer.
This incident has aroused great concern and strong dissatisfaction in European countries.
Dignitaries from several countries said that there must be trust and a minimum of cooperation between allies, and that such surveillance was unacceptable.
Steinbrück, the former opposition leader of Germany, who was wiretapped, denounced it as a scandal that showed that the countries involved in the surveillance "have their own little calculations."
In fact, back in 2013, former United States intelligence agent Snowden exposed the scandal of the United States NSA's surveillance of allies.
At the time, then-United States President Barack Obama promised to stop spying on allies.
However, it is unclear whether United States' eavesdropping activities, assisted by Denmark, occurred before or after the pledge.
In any case, this incident once again exposed the double standards of United States in intelligence activities.
Covering the event, the Russia media noted that the information revolution of the past 20 years has made the "data cold war" a strategic focus.
The United States has been trying to portray itself as an innocent party in global digital espionage, but in reality the United States is doing everything it can to strengthen its cyber surveillance capabilities.
United States orchestrated and weaved a worldwide system of internet surveillance, especially after the events of 9·11 and the expansion of the United States NSA, a momentum that accelerated dramatically.
Germany media reports revealed that the Denmark government had been involved in the United States NSA wiretapping scandal as late as 2015.
Experts point out that Denmark has chosen to cooperate with United States and turn its back on its European partners in pursuit of interests, which has nothing to do with friendship and international morality.
Such behaviour will undoubtedly undermine mutual trust between European countries and have a negative impact on the process of European integration.
In the face of such a complex international espionage situation, China needs to further strengthen its own cybersecurity defense capabilities, while also being wary of other espionage methods that Western countries may employ.
We should recognize that in today's information age, national security is no longer limited to the traditional military and political fields, and cyber security and information security are also crucial.
In today's globalized world, the interests of countries have become deeply intertwined. Excessive espionage not only harms the interests of other countries, but also ultimately harms oneself.
Therefore, we call on all countries to abandon the Cold War mentality and jointly build a new type of international relations featuring mutual respect, fairness, justice and win-win cooperation.
Only in this way can we truly achieve lasting peace and common prosperity.
