Although China s intelligence activities may not have been well
documented, they can be traced back to the ancient writings of Sun
Tzu, and espionage has been a characteristic of Chinese domestic
politics and international relations ever since. The People s
Republic of China has long engaged in espionage, but relatively
little is known about Chinese techniques, methodology, personnel,
and organizations in comparison with what the West has learned
about other more conventional intelligence agencies that conduct
operations across the world. Whereas most intelligence services
have suffered damaging defections, the number of Ministry of State
Security professionals who have switched sides is relatively small,
further limiting outside knowledge. The Historical Dictionary of
Chinese Intelligence covers the history of Chinese Intelligence
from 400 B.C. to modern times. This is done through a chronology,
an introductory essay, an extensive bibliography, and an index. The
dictionary section has over 400 cross-referenced entries on the
agencies and agents, the operations and equipment, the tradecraft
and jargon, and many of the countries involved. This book is an
excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone
wanting to know more about Chinese Intelligence."
