BEIJING, Sept 12 — China’s top spy agency published new details this week about a US citizen jailed for life for espionage earlier this year, describing his recruitment by US agents, how they fabricated his legend, and how he helped them entrap surveillance targets.
Leung was promised US$1,000 a month as well as bonuses for intelligence and a false “persona” was created to polish his “social image” to help him get close to Chinese institutions and individuals in the United States, the ministry said. He also brought targeted people to restaurants and hotels where surveillance devices were installed with the aim of extracting information they spilled or entrapping them.
