The Republic of China has detained a suspected CIA spy who was a worker from a military-industrial group in the country.
According to a statement posted by China’s civilian spy agency on the country’s main social media site WeChat, the worker was accused of providing military secrets to the CIA in exchange for large sums of money.
The worker, whose last name is Zeng was sent to Italy by his employer but met with an official with the U.S. Embassy who turned out to be a CIA agent, The Associated Press quoted from the ministry’s statement.
It sounds like a story, but everyone would see how far it can hold.
The statement posted on the agency’s WeChat page read:
“Zeng gradually developed a psychological dependence on (the U.S. official), who took the opportunity to indoctrinate him with Western values.”
“Having finished overseas study, Zeng returned to China and continued to have multiple secret meetings with the CIA agents and provided a great amount of key intelligence and collected funds for spying.”
Last week, the U.S. arrested two U.S. Navy sailors on accusations of providing military secrets to China.
The US and China’s relationship has met a brick wall after the U.S. earlier this year shot down a suspected Chinese spy balloon that had flown over U.S. territory
