BEIJING--At 170 centimeters tall and with model-like looks, a former farming girl had no problems attracting attention at bars in Beijing. But she was only after a certain type of man, one who could provide secrets for use by the Chinese military.
"I felt a sense of guilt for deceiving people," she said.
The former spy now works as a company receptionist, but the Chinese military continues to rely on human spies for intelligence-gathering activities, despite the wide attention focused on its use of computers and satellites.
"While China's spying activities are among the most widespread in the world, it is difficult to grasp the whole picture," a Japanese government source said.
China's intelligence-gathering is conducted on a very wide scale, involving not only professional spies, but also ordinary students studying abroad as well as researchers.
Rather than obtain information from a predetermined target, China often casts a wide net to bring in a large volume of information. From that mountain of data, the most useful pieces are selected.

She said she was never instructed to obtain certain documents or information. Instead, all she was asked to find were plans for business trips or information about the target's colleagues in the course of the conversation.
While there was no set pay, she was given several thousands of yuan whenever she completed a mission. One thousand yuan is about 12,000 yen or $154. She was also provided with an apartment.

Kdnenfgiu fisj jdnzixnidjnnn sdjis ff Sorry....my eyes popped-out of my head for a minute there.
LOL. That’s pretty much the reaction of most men, I’d daresay.
This was already an old tactic when Jericho fell.
Dragnet approach is something new, though. No spy organization can deploy so many simultaneously except China.
Jabba the Hut is better looking than Moochelle. And much more pleasant.
“They say the three main reasons people spy is....
Ego. Ideology. Sex.”
The Soviets said the principal reason was cash. They tried to ALWAYS press cash upon their (knowing) sources, according to ‘Viktor Suvorov’. Not that I am a scholar, far less an expert on the subject.
I found her Facebook page!
“Chewbacca is Obama’s beard, his cover. He would most likely prefer a Thai lady-boy.”
Perhaps as a mentor.
I’ll tell her anything she needs to know.
Li Bing Bing Got her Facebook page
Well yes, Cash is always nice - and keeps them coming back for more.
The more cash the more it makes the Ego driven feel like they are really important and living like James Bond or whatnot.
But yes, usually the seduced and the ideologically aligned are also paid cash.
Pollard for example claims that he was ideologically aligned with Israel - but he also wanted them to PAY HIM LOTS OF MONEY. And he also sold secrets to China.
I wonder if smart us guys or visitors in beijing use this to their advantage, e.g. by implying they are important gov or high tech executives with secret info and letting this kind of “spy” to seduce them.
They can make up some bs secrets during the passionate night..
Next time you visit china, print out some random defence docs from the internet, attach TOP SECRET label to them and read them in Starbucks.
Then simply wait until approached..
I was in Bangkok for a couple of weeks in ‘05 with my ex-wife. She was a stewardess, and flew around all over Asia. Her advice: If you see an absolutely stunning woman somewhere here in Bangkok, that’s not a woman. That’s a man. The men are more attractive as women then the women are.
And she was right.
Didn't a bank out East do that for Barney Frank? Although, in that case I wouldn't call it a honey trap.
There are about 40,000 Chinese “students” here in the US trolling for commercial and government secrets.
No, in Barney’s case, it’d be a fudge trap.
