Executive Summary:
Chinese intelligence efforts are increasingly moving away from human intelligence (HUMINT) collection to digital operations launched from within the People’s Republic of China (PRC). The Ministry of State Security (MSS), military intelligence, and others have started to employ online recruiting to replace face-to-face contact for foreign assets.
Beijing likely adopted the new model in response to the 2018 arrest of Xu Yanjun—the first MSS officer to be tried and convict
