In the 1920s, Zhou Enlai, an associate of Mao Zedong, founded the first Communist spy network in Shanghai, operating against the Nationalists, Western powers, and the Japanese. Chinese agency was global from the start.
This book is based on previously unpublished documents and the author's personal conversations with dozens of sources in intelligence agencies around the world. It is a detailed and sensationalized history of Chinese intelligence over 100 years. The author shows that Chinese spies were and are everywhere: among scientists, journalists, diplomats, students and businessmen. Their trail can be seen everywhere, from Stalin's purges to the September 11 attacks and Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan. It seems that the secret agents of the Celestial Empire are omnipotent... Are they as great as the Chinese economy and Xi Jinping's ambitions? What can we learn from them? Is it dangerous?
