By the way, I want to ask if you or anyone else here have read this book: CHINESE COMMUNIST ESPIONAGE An Intelligence Primer PETER MATTIS AND MATTHEW BRAZIL, Naval Institute Press Annapolis, Maryland.
The first passage of the book alone sounds and read like it's taken from a page of a Tom Clancy novel. Anyone knows if possible if the events described here is true? And these American authors book can still be read, analyze, and absorb for one's owns advancement in understanding the murky world of intelligence relating to China.
"For the employees of a certain Chinese government ministry in Beijing, the coldest day of 2011 was not in winter. It was on the morning that all personnel were ordered to view the execution of one of their comrades, who had been exposed as a spy for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and his pregnant wife. The two were shot in the ministry’s interior courtyard, the proceedings shown on closed-circuit television."
"The man’s sentence was only one of a dozen or more lethal warnings to the Chinese bureaucracy between late 2010 and December 2012. The state and the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) would not tolerate disloyalty by those entrusted with its secrets. There would be no mercy, even for the unborn child of a traitor. The forces of state security had destroyed CIA networks in China, and woe to anyone who tried to revive them."
