« …we would like to applaud China’s anti-espionage activities. Not only was the CIA’s spy network dismantled, but Washington had no idea what happened… »
China’s Global Times, published by the official People’s Daily, said in an editorial in its Chinese and English-language editions that, if reports of China « systematically dismantling CIA spying operations, killing or imprisoning more than a dozen sources » are true, it was a victory for China.
As we previously detailed, an influential state-run newspaper applauded China’s anti-espionage efforts on Monday after the New York Times said China had killed or imprisoned up to 20 CIA sources, hobbling U. S. spying operations in a massive intelligence breach.
And now, as Reuters reports, China’s Global Times, published by the official People’s Daily, said in an editorial:
» If this article is telling the truth, we would like to applaud China’s anti-espionage activities. Not only was the CIA’s spy network dismantled, but Washington had no idea what happened and which part of the spy network had gone wrong, » the paper said.
