A man in Guangdong, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for leaking information about China's military. News reporters have not named the country that received the information, or even given the man's full name. The only name that was given is his surname, Li. Li had given the information of 23 classified documents and 13 of them were considered highly classified to the foreign spy, state media said. Reporters said that the man started working at a coastal city in Guangdong in 2000, and in 2011 an unknown woman contacted Li on a Chinese instant messaging program. According to state media, the woman acted very interested in Li’s work and life. Now, the state military believes the woman had something to do in the leak of information. Chinese president Xi Jinping has made security concerns a top issue and arranged the first meeting of the country's new national security commission three weeks ago.
I am guessing that the reason that some people are trying to get classified information out to other people is that they are trying to rebel against the strict laws. Many people believe that the censorship laws in China are too much and want to do anything they can to try and get rid of them.
ReplyDeleteThis just reinforces the evidence that China mistreats its citizens. I find it very interesting that the Chinese government let this article get out. Perhaps they are trying to intimidate other anti-government people.
ReplyDeleteI think this is pretty interesting to China's life style. I did not know about this before and how the leaking was a bad problem in China. Although, there are some period, and capitalization mistakes that Alex is fixing. Otherwise I thought this was a interesting topic to do. Having the leaking problem was a huge issue in China back then and the big amount of it made houses and buildings weak
