Chinese spies are posing as recruiters to target officials and journalists

The U.S. and its Five Eyes intelligence partners warn that China's military intelligence is using online job platforms to target officials, journalists, and academics for sensitive information. The goal is to gain strategic advantages by acquiring privileged military, political, and economic intelligence. The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) reported being targeted after an investigation into China's transnational repression tactics.
