Chinese authorities on Monday publicly accused a government worker of spying for the CIA, the second high-profile espionage case publicized this month as Beijing ramps up its emphasis – and rhetoric – on national security.
In a statement, the country’s civilian spy agency, the Ministry of State Security, said it is investigating a cadre at an unidentified ministry who was allegedly recruited by the CIA while he was studying in Japan. The 39-year-old Chinese national, identified only by his surname Hao, became acquainted with a US embassy official in Japan while applying for a US visa, the ministry said.
The statement came just 10 days after the same ministry claimed it uncovered another Chinese national spying for the CIA – a worker at an unidentified Chinese military industrial group who was allegedly recruited while studying in Italy. The statements on both cases were released by the Ministry of State Security on Wechat, China’s super app, where it set up its first public-facing social media account earlier this month.
