National security cannot be challenged! The lure of money made Chen Wei a foreign spy and was sentenced to death with a reprieve.

  Cctv newsYesterday (1st) was the 5th anniversary of the promulgation and implementation of the Anti-Spy Law of the People’s Republic of China. Over the past five years, the state security organs have continuously strengthened their professional struggle ability and conducted tit-for-tat contests with foreign spy intelligence agencies, successfully cracking a number of major spy cases.

  Caught stealing and selling classified documents by taking advantage of work.

  Chen Wei, born in 1985, used to be a network administrator of a company affiliated to a military research institute in China. In 2011, Chen Wei "ran into" a foreigner who claimed to be Peter at the company gate. Peter said that he is a technical expert and the purpose of his visit to China is to buy some technical information. Then, under the temptation of high remuneration, Chen Wei stole a large number of internal confidential documents and provided them to Peter.

  With the increasing number of stolen documents and the higher security level, Chen Wei, who thought he had found a way to make money, gradually realized that Peter was not an ordinary technical expert, but a spy. Chen Wei, who was frightened, asked him to terminate the cooperation. However, Peter took the information provided by Chen Wei as a handle and threatened him to continue to provide classified information.

  He was sentenced to life imprisonment for providing a large number of confidential documents

  In 2014, Chen Wei, who lived in fear all day, resigned from the unit. In March 2015, after careful reconnaissance, the Beijing National Security Bureau arrested Chen Wei.

  The investigation confirmed that Chen Wei stole and provided more than 5,500 documents of the research institute to foreign spy intelligence agencies, including 146 confidential documents, 1,753 secret documents and a large number of other internal documents. In March 2019, the Beijing No.2 Intermediate People’s Court sentenced Chen Wei to life imprisonment for espionage and deprived him of political rights for life.

  Criminal Chen WeiAt that time, I especially regretted it. Until I was going to be a father, I began to plan to leave my job and stop touching anything confidential.

  Taking advantage of his position to sell classified information was sentenced.

  Young people who are not deeply involved in the world can’t resist the temptation of interests and embark on the road of crime. Qiu Degui, born in 1990, used to be a reporter in the online publicity center of the propaganda department of a county party Committee. Once, when logging in to the mailbox, Qiu Degui found an abnormality.

  Criminal Qiu Degui: I found some emails. I saw them for the first time. Can you provide some local negative information and news materials? I found some negative news from Baidu for the first time, similar to some fights and killings in China (and so on) and sent it to him.

  However, after receiving the email, the other party replied that what the other party needed was the documents of the company. In the end, Qiu Degui provided the other party with a batch of internal documents of the propaganda department of the county party Committee through copying and remaking, and received a total remuneration of more than 11,000 yuan. In fact, the real identity of the person who exchanged emails with Qiu Degui was actually a member of a military intelligence department abroad. After identification, among the documents and materials illegally provided by Qiu Degui, L are classified and 5 are classified.

  In June 2018, Qiu Degui was sentenced to four years in prison and deprived of political rights for one year for the crime of illegally providing state secrets abroad.

  In addition to the personnel of domestic secret-related units, the personnel stationed abroad are also the targets of foreign spy intelligence agencies. Zhang Xiangbin, a cadre of a ministry in China, who is resident in a certain country, was recruited to act as a spy for foreign spy intelligence agencies.

  Criminal Zhang Xiangbin: I feel that the first part of my own mistakes and crimes is to provide written materials, and the second part is to reveal state secrets orally.

  In February 2019, Zhang Xiangbin was sentenced to death by the Baise Intermediate People’s Court for espionage and illegal acquisition of state secrets, with a two-year suspension.
