Recently, the contemporary national security-themed drama "Confrontation" produced by China Central Radio and Television and led by the Ministry of State Security was aired, arousing heated discussions among netizens about espionage activities.Today (September 26), the Ministry of National Security issued a document dismantling the usual methods of overseas spy and intelligence agencies one by one.

Tip 1: Buy with money, step by step

In the drama "Confrontation", Zhu Yingjia, a member of Taiwan's "Military Intelligence Bureau", directly revealed his identity when he met Cao Liaoping, an important scientific researcher and missile expert in our country, for the first time, and launched a money bribery offensive. Later, he took advantage of his unpreparedness and used various methods to "feed" in an attempt to gradually disintegrate Cao Liaoping's psychological defense line.

Money bribery is one of the common methods used by overseas espionage and intelligence agencies.For example,A case announced by the national security agency shows that Zhao, a scientific researcher in the aerospace field of our country, was targeted by personnel from overseas espionage and intelligence agencies during a study tour in a certain country.The other party first built a closer relationship by eating, traveling, giving gifts, etc., and then paid a lot of money in the name of "consulting fees", and finally instigated Zhao to rebel.After returning to China, Zhao took advantage of the convenience of working in a scientific research institute to collect a large amount of intelligence on my country's aerospace field and provided it to the other party, collecting a total of hundreds of thousands of yuan in espionage funds.In the end, Zhao was sentenced to 7 years in prison for espionage, deprived of political rights for 3 years, and confiscated all illegal gains.

Tip 2: Emotionally win over and create a mystery

In the process of contacting Cao Liaoping, Zhu Yingjia always appeared as "making friends" and repeatedly emphasized that "he is just a part-time consultant" and "won't embarrass you", trying to use seemingly gentle words to make Cao Liaoping relax his vigilance.

Emotional solicitation is also a common method used by overseas espionage and intelligence agencies.For example, A case announced by the national security agency shows that when Xiao Zhe, a mainland student, went to a university in Taiwan as an exchange student, a girl who claimed to be a "senior sister" approached her and made frequent advances, creating an ambiguous atmosphere, and Xiao Zhe quickly fell "in love."After returning to the mainland, Xiaozhe entered a secret key laboratory in my country.Taiwan's "senior sisters" frequently asked him to take laboratory photos in the name of "checking in" as a couple, and asked him to "share" the latest academic achievements on the grounds that they cared about their studies. The materials they requested gradually changed from simple information to specific experimental data and confidential scientific research materials.Later, the national security agency found out that the so-called "senior sister" was actually a member of Taiwan's spy agency.In the end, Xiaozhe was held criminally responsible according to law for the crime of illegally providing state secrets overseas.

Tip 3: Coercion and coercion, cutting off the retreat

Money and emotion lead the way, followed by threats.Zhu Yingjia set up a "love trap" to "draw" Cao Liaoping's colleagues into the trap, creating a fear in Cao Liaoping that "if he doesn't cooperate, he will be ruined."When Cao Liaoping wanted to call the police after returning to China, he got into a car accident again by "an unexpected combination of circumstances."Cao Liaoping fell into a "dilemma" when his career future and personal safety were threatened.

In reality, after overseas espionage and intelligence agencies lock in a target, they may first design a trap, wait until the target is "succumbed", and then use it as a threat to force the target to compromise and cooperate.For example, A case announced by the national security agency shows that Zhang, a public official of one of our overseas agencies, met Li, a spy and intelligence agency employee disguised as a local entrepreneur at a banquet, and then fell into a beauty trap carefully designed by the other party.Overseas spy and intelligence agencies recorded Zhang’s entire process from pushing a cup to changing a cup to being arrested for soliciting prostitution, in order to intimidate and require Zhang to cooperate with them.Under the coercion of the other party, Zhang completed the espionage procedures, and then took advantage of his work convenience to provide a large amount of internal confidential information to overseas spies, causing harm to China's national security. He was eventually severely punished by law.

As shown in the TV series "Confrontation", the current national security situation is severe and complex, and the infiltration and theft activities of overseas espionage and intelligence agencies are intensifying.We must be vigilant, strictly guard state secrets, and not be moved by temptations, confusion, or selfish desires.If you encounter foreign spy agencies using money, emotions, coercion and other means to instigate rebellion, you should resolutely stick to the bottom line and report to your unit and national security agency as soon as possible, and never give any opportunity to the hostile forces.
