              I may not have caught you in time this time around, but for future reference, always try an archive site first. Even if someone else didn’t already archive the article, you can do so yourself and it bypasses the paywall/sign-in wall. There’s also the added benefit of not giving that liberal cesspit state department propaganda outlet your traffic.

        China Used Stolen Data to Expose CIA Operatives in Africa and Europe (Foreign Policy Mag, Dec 2020)

        Around 2013, U.S. intelligence began noticing an alarming pattern: Undercover CIA personnel, flying into countries in Africa and Europe for sensitive work, were being rapidly and successfully identified by Chinese intelligence, according to three former U.S. officials. The surveillance by Chinese operatives began in some cases as soon as the CIA officers had cleared passport control. Sometimes, the surveillance was so overt that U.S. intelligence officials speculated that the Chinese wanted the U.S. side to know they had identified the CIA operatives, disrupting their missions; other times, however, it was much more subtle and only detected through U.S. spy agencies’ own sophisticated technical countersurveillance capabilities.

          The sophisticated technical counter surveillance capabilities? A website designed by a sophomore high schooler instead of a freshman high schooler

        Not only did China kill the CIA sources, but the CIA used a Chinese American CIA agent as a scapegoat. He “confessed” to doing everything but the CIA wasn’t able to find any evidence, but he was sentenced to prison anyway.

        I believe he had gambling and business debt problems, and had business dealings with Chinese agents, but that’s about it lol. The real culprit is most likely a series of fake websites designed by the CIA to communicate with sources. But they refused the same templates and databases, and Iran was the first one to find out IIRC, then they passed on the info they found about Chinese and Russian moles to the respective countries.
