Chinese Spy Majic

One has to wonder how many Chinese Agents are operating on U.S. soil. With constant reports of Front Companies, and attacks on the Falun Gong in the U.S., you get a sense Chinese Black Operations abound, unabated and unfettered.

Something that interested me was an article in NZ which pointed to the idea that Chinese operatives are operating more freely because of the focus on Counter-terrorism. What an interesting concept: while America worries about terrorist sleeper cells, Chinese intelligence cells rape U.S. technology and Chinese operatives harass, wire-tap, and assault U.S. citizens. It's sometimes hard to believe we are living in America! Has anyone asked the Chinese to make sure the go to the FISA court and get warrent to tap our citizens?

Spies in our midst, says SIS

A focus on counter-terrorism has allowed foreign spies to continue to operate in New Zealand unabated, the Security Intelligence Service says.

Spies were collecting economic and political information and scientific and technological research and development to further their own national interests. "Their activities can be harmful to New Zealand's international and economic wellbeing," Mr Woods said.

Auckland University's Paul Buchanan, a former CIA adviser, said the threat of espionage, especially by the Chinese as they sought to boost their influence in the South Pacific, was much more real.

"If they are going to be the next superpower, they have no choice but to expand their intelligence gathering."
