Chinese military uses wide network of female spies

November 09, 2011

By KENJI MINEMURA / Correspondent

BEIJING--At 170 centimeters tall and with model-like looks, a former farming girl had no problems attracting attention at bars in Beijing. But she was only after a certain type of man, one who could provide secrets for use by the Chinese military.

"I felt a sense of guilt for deceiving people," she said.

The former spy now works as a company receptionist, but the Chinese military continues to rely on human spies for intelligence-gathering activities, despite the wide attention focused on its use of computers and satellites.

"While China's spying activities are among the most widespread in the world, it is difficult to grasp the whole picture," a Japanese government source said.

China's intelligence-gathering is conducted on a very wide scale, involving not only professional spies, but also ordinary students studying abroad as well as researchers.

Rather than obtain information from a predetermined target, China often casts a wide net to bring in a large volume of information. From that mountain of data, the most useful pieces are selected.

She said she was never instructed to obtain certain documents or information. Instead, all she was asked to find were plans for business trips or information about the target's colleagues in the course of the conversation.

While there was no set pay, she was given several thousands of yuan whenever she completed a mission. One thousand yuan is about 12,000 yen or $154. She was also provided with an apartment.

This is pretty much what I suspected. Chicom employs huge number of stringers. None of them professionally trained. They come and go. Chinese security lets them bring in information. Security agency sift them out to select useful intelligence. A dragnet approach of spying.

I’m sorry, but the only thing I’d tell that woman is, “Excuse me....I’m trying to grab my beer.”

I agree.

Now, if she looked like the picture I just posted a couple of minutes ago, I’d be saying, “Excuse me.....yes, I’ll tell you anything. Anything you want to know. Go back to your apartment? Spend the night? Great idea. We can have more privacy.”

:)

I don't know if she is innocent, but she sure as heck is NOT GUILTY. Makes me wish I knew something worth selling out. Seriously Obama sold out the whole country and he ended up with Chewbacca. You figure he would at least get a Chicom hottie as a conciliation prize.

They say the three main reasons people spy is....

Ego. Ideology. Sex.

Now if you have someone who isn't ideologically aligned, isn't all jacked up on the idea of being a double agent spy vs spy James Bond type - you need to get them with the ol’ “Honey Trap”.

The East Germans sent a cadre of really good looking men to seduce the secretaries of high officials in the West German government. Very successful operation!

I’m pretty sure Eric Holder runs the No. 2 Dept. in the U.S.

Chewbacca is Obama’s beard, his cover. He would most likely prefer a Thai lady-boy.

If the Chinese used spies like that, the USA would likely be a province of China in five years, lock, stock and barrel.

As another poster said, Obama sold out the USA, and all he got was a wookie. I expect better from an American President.

It’s like with Clinton. Monica Lewinsky? Please.

Sure, JFK was fooling around (prolifically) but at least he had Marilyn Monroe, for heaven’s sake. That’s a built-in excuse right there; who could resist?

Shame on me! Ok, I admit it, my first thought was, “yum”! Wonder if she wants to learn to snow ski?

I recall my early trips to the old Soviet Union (Lithuania) in 1982 and 1984. In my mid 30s, I was approached by young ladies on each trip. Not only did they manage to “run into me” every day I was in country, but most of the questions they asked were related to my profession (computers). They wanted to know what I did, how I did things, what equipment I worked on, etc. In my opinion, both were KGB. My standard response was that I was on holiday and didn’t want to talk about work.
