Beijing’s Intelligence Ops in the U.S.

The Christian Science Monitor has an interesting piece on Chinese espionage methods inside the United States.

China has spent more than two decades creating a large and varied intelligence infrastructure in the United States, according to US counterintelligence documents. High-profile prosecutions in recent years related to alleged Chinese espionage may merely hint at the depth and breadth of China’s collection efforts…. Recent cases involving the People’s Republic of China (PRC) “are just the tip of the iceberg of an already-large and increasingly capable PRC intelligence effort,” concludes a US government Intelligence Threat Handbook, an unclassified manual for security officers produced by an arm of the National Security Agency.
