To date, these responses have proven minimally effective. There is no indication that U.S. actions have deterred, or will deter, China. Additional elements of national power will be necessary to abate China’s global espionage campaign — domestic education campaigns, global media campaigns, increased enforcement, expanded international coordination measures, and leveraging alliances could all be considered.<br /><br />Nicholas Eftimiades is a lecturer at Penn State University, Homeland Security Program. He recently retired from a 34 year government career that included employment in the CIA, Department of State, and Defense Intelligence Agency. The views in this article are the author’s own and do not reflect the views of the U.S. government."

High-level findings are as follows:<br /><br />- China has expanded its espionage efforts considerably over the last 20 years.<br /><br />- Chinese entities conducting espionage include government agencies, the military, state- owned enterprises (SOEs), private companies/individuals, and select universities.<br /><br />- Nearly half of China’s espionage efforts target U.S. military and space technologies. Almost 25 percent of cases target commercial interests.<br /><br />- China is unlikely to significantly curb its espionage efforts, as they provide a cost-efficient means to expand the economy, advance research and development, project military power, and meet China’s stated goal to become a world power.<br /><br />See the WHOLE DIPLOMAT ARTICLE AT https://thediplomat.com/2018/11/uncovering-chinese-espionage-in-the-us/Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02624742078679760819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19245896.post-25327483206382870742016-12-06T18:29:23.732+11:002016-12-06T18:29:23.732+11:00Chinese "students" are known to act as a...Chinese "students" are known to act as agents of diplomats to travel to distant parts of the country that would not be easily accessible by diplomats under regular bilateral diplomatic rules. So, some years ago, I experienced a Chinese student photographing my house in a rural town (about 100 miles from major cities). <br /><br />In terms or projection of pressure, also Chinese students were travelling almost 100 miles, to attend my wife's medical practice in a rural town, for no obvious pressing medical reasons.

More than that, the contingent of engineering and science students from China in US universities especially at the graduate and PhD levels is by far the largest.

That focus did not always bring victory in war. China's approaches to warfare will emphasize not just technology and classical intelligence but also a variety of other policies that may be as effective such as the creation of Confucius Institutes (of the 440+ in existence, some 140+ are located in the US), state sponsored think tanks (some are even located in Washington DC), lobbyism, etc.<br />KQNAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19245896.post-995981781296736532016-11-29T05:53:44.131+11:002016-11-29T05:53:44.131+11:00I seem to recall the Chinese classified a geologic...I seem to recall the Chinese classified a geological database that was purchased by a Chinese-American geologist after the fact, then jailed the man for violating national security.

the nice thing about your blog is no ...Dear Pete, <br /><br />the nice thing about your blog is no Chinese trolls until now. <br /><br />In "DER SPIEGEL" it is quite useless to write a critical comment about China. Any thread concerning China will be overcrowded by China loving comments stating you are an idiot. So some articles now have no possibility to comment at all. Like the following one about the Israeli Dolphin deal (far to many antisemitic idiots...):<br /><br />http://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/israel-benjamin-netanyahu-soll-sich-fuer-u-boot-deal-rechtfertigen-a-1122188.html<br /><br />Content: Netanyahu ordered 3 more Dophin-class submarines despite the minister of defense at time Mosche Jaalon was against the deal. Jaalon was a paratrooper and maybe a little bit not so concerned about deterrence and common with AIP usage.<br /><br />The bad thing about spying is the moral of your own people. In Germany we had the example with the other part spying on us. It would have been far cheaper to invent the required techniques in the German Democratic Republic than to use the overcrowded spying networks. The main problem was the government didn't trust its own people and discouraged its own scientists: "You are to dumb to invent such things!" Some say the GDR went out of business due to too many people did not produce something worth. They just spied. <br /><br />Regards,<br />MHalblaubMHalblaubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14234020711635190127noreply@blogger.com
