Sino-Soviet relations joke

There is a popular saying: China forbids foreign mercenaries. But you know what? China is also considered as a forbidden area for foreign spies. Of course, this doesn't mean that we don't have spies lurking. China is also a country suffering from spies, but relatively speaking, the anti-espionage work is quite excellent.

It was Konstantin, a former KGB defector, who claimed that China was a forbidden area for spies. During the Soviet period, Constantine was responsible for collecting information about China. In fact, although China and the Soviet Union belong to the same camp, there is no doubt that even friendly countries send spies to each other. Especially after the deterioration of Sino-Soviet relations, the Soviet KGB's espionage activities against China became more frequent.

Speaking of Soviet espionage against China, Li Hongshu is the most famous and far-reaching one. 1On June 5th, 972, Li Hongshu, a KGB spy, sneaked into China from the mouth of the Irtysh River in Xinjiang, and under the command of the Soviet KGB and the Soviet Embassy in China, sneaked into China to carry out spy intelligence tasks.

Li Hongshu's case was adapted into a film and television drama.

However, Li Hongshu's every move is under the control of our country. Li Hongshu was secretly arrested only 20 days after sneaking into China, and later became a double agent with the efforts of the counter-intelligence department. 1 Over the years, China has continuously disclosed false information to the Soviet Union through Li Hongshu, strategically fooled the Soviet Union, successfully destroyed Soviet intelligence organizations in China, and humiliated the KGB in front of the whole world.

From then on, it was difficult for KGB to take root in China. Because it is very difficult to directly enter China to engage in espionage, the Soviet Union had to conduct intelligence activities in a curve, that is, set up points in neighboring countries of China, such as Mongolia, North Korea, Myanmar and Japan, and spy on China through overseas students or foreigners. Among them, Japan is an important base for KGB spies in China, and Constantine worked as a reporter at KGB Tokyo Intelligence Station from 1980 to 1985, and engaged in espionage activities in China.

KGB defected agent Constantine

Many people have heard a joke. There are five best intelligence organizations in the world, CIA, MI6, KGB and Mossad. The fifth and most mysterious one is the Chaoyang people, which also reflects the powerful anti-intelligence ability of ordinary people. Constantine spoke highly of the counterintelligence of ordinary people in China, so he thought it was very difficult to recruit China people as spies.

1983, Constantine met a Hong Kong student studying in Tokyo. After many conversations, Constantine found this Hong Kong compatriot easy to deal with, so he often invited him to eat, drink and have fun, and the two soon became brothers. However, when Constantine was ready to take further action, he realized that it was all over.

At first, Constantine would talk to Hong Kong people about China's history, culture and food. He declared himself a cultural lover in China. There was nothing at first, but the two gradually talked from history and food to military and politics. Constantine wants to see the reaction and attitude of Hong Kong compatriots before deciding his next move. However, he was surprised by the reaction of his compatriots in Hong Kong. Obviously, he didn't want to talk too much about military politics, and he began to become alert.

As a senior agent, Constantine immediately realized that the person in front of him might be suspicious, and if he continued to ask questions, his identity might be exposed, so he immediately gave up his plan to recruit this Hong Kong compatriot and never contacted him again.

The target students from China are also the most. In the name of learning Chinese, Constantine found many foreign students from China as tutors, but he didn't learn Chinese well, but he often invited these foreign students to eat and drink. At that time, China students were relatively poor even if they could study abroad. When Constantine invited them for dinner and entertainment, many foreign students would agree. However, when Constantine wants to give these international students money as a reward, many people will be alert immediately.

Of course, some international students were recruited at the beginning, but they only provided some easily available information. But when Constantine wants to get more useful information, the situation will become the opposite. The patriotic enthusiasm shown by foreign students made him aware of the risks. After all, the KGB's espionage activities in Japan are secret, so he will stop contact with these people immediately.

At that time, it was very difficult for KGB to enter China, and it was not so easy to collect information even in countries around China, because China people were naturally vigilant and patriotic. Once something happens, they all know exactly what to do. And because of the historical relationship between the two sides, China people know more about the thinking habits of the KGB, which also makes it difficult for the KGB to recruit people from China.

KGB agents

International spies are everywhere. As China people, we should be vigilant whenever and wherever we are. Many people think that it is impossible for ordinary people to master confidential information and be recruited by foreign spies. Actually, it is not. A lot of information that you think is unimportant or irrelevant may become an important source of information for others. As an ordinary person, how to guard against spies? Tell you a way, if you have foreigners or China people around you, and they are interested in China culture, and the other person shows the appearance of knowing astronomy above and geography below, such people should be careful, and they may just say it casually. There are many such people on the Internet. Once you find anything unusual, report it in time.
