Two Retired Chinese Officers Arrested for Spying on the U.S. and South Korea
Just think these are just two spies they caught, there are likely many more that have not been detected yet:
Two former Chinese military officers have been arrested for allegedly eavesdropping on communications from fighter jets near a South Korean military base and leaking classified material related to South Korea-U.S. military exercises, police said Tuesday.
One of the suspects, a Chinese national in his 60s, was arrested on suspicions of benefiting the enemy and violating a law on the protection of communications secrets after allegedly making multiple visits to South Korea on a tourist visa and tapping communications between fighter jets and air traffic control towers from a hotel near an airport in the southwestern city of Gunsan, according to the Gyeonggi Nambu Provincial Police. (……….)
Meanwhile, the second suspect, a 45-year-old ethnic Korean with Chinese nationality, was arrested on suspicions of benefiting the enemy and violating a law on the protection of military bases after allegedly recruiting a South Korean woman working at Camp Humphreys, a key U.S. base in Pyeongtaek, some 60 kilometers south of Seoul, to obtain classified material related to allied exercises.
The man allegedly concealed his identity while running a U.S. military supplies store near the base and engaged in the acts from November 2021 until last May as a retired PLA officer.
You can read more at the link, but this shows that even the friendly Korean guy in the Ville may actually be a Chinese intelligence agent.
@GIKorea
So, what’s your point?
The US spies on China, South Korea, and Japan.
China spies on the US, South Korea, and Japan.
South Korea spies on China, the US, and Japan.
Russia spies on China, the US, Japan and South Korea.
Israel spies on the US and the Arab states.
It’s the ages old intelligence game.
Nothing new and nothing to get excited about.
@KoreanPerson..
Yes, “everyone spies” is true (stating the obvious, thanks..) but irrelevant. This only shows your true character, 반국가세력 just like the current regime.
Your feeling based argument just now is a false equivalence. Nobody is surprised that countries spy on each other; the point is what this particular operation involved.
“Everyone spies” doesn’t make that irrelevant any more than “everyone hacks” makes a successful intrusion into a military network unimportant. The question isn’t whether espionage exists. The question is who is conducting it, what they’re targeting, how deeply they’ve penetrated an allied military, and what they intend to do with the information. Calling all of that “nothing new” is basically an argument for not paying attention to intelligence threats at all.
Please show us more of your anti-Koreaness..
