Question: The New Zealand Security Intelligence Agency, along with intelligence agencies from other Five Eyes countries, has issued a so-called security alert. It claims that Chinese intelligence agencies are collecting sensitive information through online job-seeking platforms and social networking sites. What is the embassys comment on this?
Answer: A spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated yesterday regarding the claim by intelligence agencies of the Five Eyes Alliance that Chinese spies are using online employment platforms to carry out recruitment activities. The spokesman pointed out that as the worlds largest network for intelligence cooperation, the Five Eyes Alliance has long been engaged in large-scale and systematic espionage activities around the world. It is quite ironic that such an organization would accuse China of posing a spies threat.
