Five Eyes intelligence partners said Beijing is using private companies in South Africa and China to target potential recruits in western countries with 'exorbitant salaries.'
A statement from the U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence on behalf of the Five Eyes intelligence partnership said Beijing is using private companies in South Africa and China to target potential recruits from NATO and western countries by offering “exorbitant salaries.”
The bulletin warns that “nefarious recruitment attempts are not always obvious” as companies will conceal their ties to the PLA.Potential recruits may be contacted directly by headhunters or their own personal acquaintances from the military, or indirectly through professional networking sites and online job platforms, according to the advisory.
“Today’s joint bulletin by FVEY partners seeks to highlight this persistent threat and deter any current or former Western service members from actions that put their military colleagues at risk and erode our national security,” NCSC director Michael C. Casey said in Wednesday’s statement. “All Defence Team members, civilian and military, serving and retired, must be alive to this stark reality. This is real.”Bill C-70, would update the Security of Information Act to include Canadian Forces members in the list of people permanently bound to secrecy. That would restrict who current and former Canadian military members can train or share information with.
