China wants to mobilize the entire nation for counterintelligence – Reuters, citing the Ministry of State Security of China.
Chinese citizens encouraged to spy on anyone, including their neighbors.
The revised law gives the Ministry of State Security and its local counterparts unprecedented enforcement powers to enter, question, inspect individuals’ electronic devices and business facilities.
China should encourage its citizens to participate in counterintelligence work, including creating channels through which individuals can report suspicious activity and praise and encourage it.
All “documents, data, materials, and items related to national security and interests” are under the same protection as state secrets following the revisions, according to the full text of the revised law.
A system must be created that will make it “normal” for the masses to participate in counterintelligence.
The call to popularize anti-spy work among the masses followed the expansion of China’s counterintelligence law.
