The German anti -intelligence department reminds public officials and policy makers that China has been increasing espionage in Germany, which is a new sign of the relationship with this Asian superpower that caused national security concerns.
Bloomberg reported that the German Federal Constitution Protection Bureau issued a notice on weekends that Chinese leadership has significantly increased the efforts to obtain information information in recent years, and "has established a expanding global connection network for this."
This German anti -intelligence agency refers to the Chinese Government Central Committee's Foreign Liaison Department (IDCPC), which played a core role in collecting intelligence and urged German officials to be vigilant when interacting with IDCPC.
The German Federal Constitution Protection says that when contacting IDCPC or its members, "be particularly cautious and restrained" and emphasize that any behavior that may be understood as a foreign agent agency should be avoided.
Another report released by the German government earlier in July, it included China on a list of "large -scale spy activities" in Germany, and Russia, Iran and Turkey also on this list.
The German government is trying to reduce the dependence of Germany's main trading partners in China and urge German's largest enterprises to ensure that their risks in China are controllable. This is part of the extensive efforts of Berlin's reset and Beijing relations.
