The amendment to the 'Counter-Espionage Law' by the Chinese Communist Party, effective since July last year, has led to an intensified anti-spy campaign. Recent reports of a spy case involving an employee from a confidential department taking selfies in the office and leaking internal documents to foreign intelligence agencies were analyzed to be a fabrication aimed at instilling fear among the people. Critics question the legitimacy of these cases, considering the strict controls on the internet and the unlikelihood of spies using social media platforms to contact confidential personnel. Previous spy cases publicized by the 'National Security Department' were also met with skepticism for lacking specific details and being perceived as fabricated stories to serve current policies.
