The South China Morning Post (October 17) said the PLA Daily has called for a “people’s war” to
defeat American espionage after the CIA set up the China Mission Centre on October 7, which CIA
Director William Burns said was aimed at countering “the most important geopolitical threat” of
the century, has gone viral on Chinese social media. A widely circulated video clip in the past few
days, carried by many state-controlled media outlets, claimed that the CIA was recruiting Chinesespeaking operatives who understood Mandarin as well as Cantonese, Hakka, and Shanghainese. The
PLA Daily post on social media says, ‘no cunning fox can defeat a good hunter’ and says the military
is relying on the people to look out for spies.
