«…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.
