Leaked Report Suggest China Is Actively Conducting Espionage On Uk. by ElRazur: 10:33am On Feb 01, 2010 |
Right before I start, I will like to mention that this is a focus on China. While almost all powerful nation bug each other, it appears that China is taking this to another level. Usually, this kind of things are limited to areas that may provide political gain, but china is actively gathering intelligence on business and people who may have trade secrets. Some have even argued that the bounds and leaps made by China should not surprise anyone i.e their so called advancement may have been based on intellectual theft. Again there are reasons that support this notion. [If you want one, please ask. I do not want to divert from the point I am trying to make: Here are some various extracts from the article.
Again while this may sound as some low-level form of hacking, one need to see the bigger picture to fully appreciate what is going on here. For example Huawei is one the biggest [if not the biggest] electronics, chip and telecoms outfit in China. Only that it have been linked/known for receiving funding from the Chinese Military in conducting several "espionage based research and development". Also, there have been reports of Huwaei's offices in other nations employing people with links to the Chinese army. Below is a link supporting the last statement. Please make of it what you want. http://www.telecomtiger.com/Corporate_fullstory.aspx?passfrom=topstory&storyid=7067§ion=S162 Here is another quote from the leaked report.
Again another notion that supports this is the recent attempted hacking of Goggle in china. Goggle describe the attack as "highly sophisticated" a lot of people have attributed the level of attack to the Chinese government. Let's not forget that these attacks are targeted at those who campaigned against the appalling Human rights in china. Coincidence? Another quote from the report:
Please have a read of the article and make you mind of what you will. Personally, I think the approach employed by the Chinese is just too aggressive and it makes me shudder to think what they are capable of doing should they ever become world power. Here are some suggest reading links: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/crime/article7009749.ece http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article5993156.ece http://english.aljazeera.net/news/asia-pacific/2010/01/201011344158285428.html |

Well, if that's the case, it's a question of turned tables. After all, that's what MI5/6, CIA, KGB, Mossad, etc, had been doing for donkey years during the cold war. There's no way you can be a truly great power without an intelligence network. |

No far from it. It is not "turned tables" in my opinion. These sort of intelligence gathering is limited to inside one's nation - with the blessing of the law. China is in my opinion using what is more like "covert aggression" in the same way they practise "aggressive capitalism". Mossad will gladly kill any enemy of the state in any part of the world. Mi5 and Mi6 will monitor activities at home and abroad to see if there is any threat to the UK or any of her allies if necessary. KGB will do dirty works like mossad and gather intelligence like the CIA etc. The point is, no one have gone to the extent in which the China is actively pursuing her ways. This can have implications and a very severe one, but let us see how it goes. |
