Ex-researcher convicted of espionage, Beijing says

Chinese bodies were sentenced to death for sale of classified materials to a foreign spy agency.

After he resigned from the institute, the researcher, defined by his name Liu, came up with a “carefully developed” plan for the sale of exploration by foreign agencies, according to an article published on Wednesday by the Chinese State Security Ministry.

The ministry has not named former employer Liu or foreign groups who allegedly bought his material.

The announcement comes against the background of increasing warnings by China that its citizens are co -ops for foreign structures to serve as spies.

“The opening that wants to accept the labels to the sky will suffer the consequences,” the ministry said in the article on Wednesday.

Considering that he was treated unfairly at the institute, he rescued a large number of secret materials before he left, intending to use it for revenge and blackmail, the ministry said.

He then joined the investment firm, and after the investment failed, put it in debt, addressed a foreign spy agency, which received the material at a “very low price”, the ministry reports.

After that, the agency stopped contact with Liu, the ministry added, and he tried to sell information abroad.

“For six months he secretly traveled to many countries and seriously traced the secrets of our country,” the article reads.

Liu, who confessed after his arrest, was deprived of political rights for life.

Beijing is increasingly wary of espionage and warns that his citizens are recruiting foreign spying agencies trying to provide China’s state secrets.

Last November, a former Chinese state agency employee was sentenced to a death sentence after his USB flash was allegedly confiscated by foreign spies, and he became “puppet”, Chinese authorities said.

Last February, the Australian writer Jan Hendzhun, known for the human rights blog in China, was sentenced to a death sentence on charges of espionage. This verdict was supported, And Jan remains behind bars in China, despite the fact that Australian leaders are calling for release.

Concerns about Chinese influences and infiltration operations are also caused by governments around the world, several of which have strengthened the arrests of Chinese citizens on spyware.
