China is stepping up anti-espionage activities amid worsening ties with the United States and a renewed focus on national security ahead of a key Communist Party anniversary later this year.
Announcing the new regulations Monday, state news agency Xinhua quoted a senior official at the Ministry of State Security as saying "overseas espionage and intelligence agencies and hostile forces have intensified infiltration into China, and broadened their tactics of stealing secrets in various ways and in more fields, which poses a serious threat to China's national security and interests." The regulations create new responsibilities for a host of bodies -- including "social groups, enterprises and public institutions" -- to keep a watch out for and prevent foreign espionage activity.
