On October 16, the WeChat official account of the Ministry of State Security issued a document saying that in recent years, as the state security organs have stepped up their efforts to crack down on illegal surveying and mapping activities, some overseas organizations have gradually turned to carry out so-called project cooperation with domestic enterprises to evade supervision and illegally collect original surveying and mapping data from the mainland, threatening the security of mainland countries.
The work of the state security organs found that a certain overseas company, Company A, illegally carried out geographic information surveying and mapping activities in the mainland under the cover of carrying out research on intelligent driving of automobiles through cooperation with Company B, which has surveying and mapping qualifications in the mainland.
