Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 For almost half a century during the Cold War, the world was focused on the global espionage battle between the United States and the Soviet Union. The duel between the CIA and the KGB, portrayed in countless books, films, and news stories, captured the public imagination. #2 China and America are in an uneasy embrace, and they constantly spy on each other.
Chinese intelligence has been aimed at stealing American nuclear weapons data, and American intelligence has been trying to penetrate Chinese counterintelligence. #3 The MSS, China's equivalent of the CIA, is organized into a dozen bureaus. The first bureau operates for the most part inside China, but it also recruits people who are heading overseas for study, business, or vacation. #4 The MSS is only one of many Chinese intelligence agencies that spies on other countries, including the United States.
China has been in the spy business for some twenty-five hundred years.
