From Publishers Weekly: Written by a Defense Intelligence Agency
analyst, this is a straightforward examination of the structure,
operations and methodology of the intelligence services of the
People's Republic of China. Eftimiades describes how the Ministry
of State Security--China's preeminent civilian
intelligence-gathering entity--draws on the services of diplomats,
commercial representatives, Chinese communities in overseas cities
and students. (The People's Republic sends approximately 40,000
students abroad annually.) His analysis of the case of Larry Wu-Tai
Chin, a longtime CIA employee who was convicted of espionage in
1986, reveals much about Chinese operations in the United States.
Although Eftimiades cautions that the Ministry of State Security
will continue to penetrate and exploit the political, academic,
industrial and technological institutions of Western nations, he
adds reassuringly that China's intelligence apparatus is hobbled by
its own red tape and hindered by the stultifying bureaucracy of the
Chinese Communist Party. Of interest mainly to specialists.
