Who needs spy movies when real life is this dramatic? 🎬
The Chinese Foreign Ministry didn't hold back on Monday, firing back at US media's allegations that \"China is carrying out espionage activities.\" Lin Jian, the ministry's spokesperson, took the stage at a regular press briefing to set the record straight. \"Some Western media have been hyping up false narratives about China's 'espionage activities' for quite some time,\" he said. \"However, apart from some baseless speculations and remarks, there are no facts or evidence.\"
Lin pointed out that the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) recently published guidelines in Chinese on social media, aiming to lure Chinese personnel into collaborating. Talk about bold moves! 😱 He slammed this tactic as a serious violation of China's national interests.
\"China will resolutely crack down on the infiltration and sabotage activities of overseas anti-China forces to effectively safeguard national sovereignty, security, and development interests,\" Lin declared, leaving no room for doubt.
He didn't stop there. Lin highlighted how the CIA has been using \"despicable methods\" to steal secrets and meddle in other countries' affairs for a long time. \"The United States has never stopped its espionage activities against China,\" he said, accusing the US of playing a double game by pointing fingers while wiretapping and stealing from its own allies. 😬
In a final note, Lin urged the US to \"immediately stop its wrongdoings and cease bringing more chaos and turmoil to the world.\" Strong words that signal rising tensions on the global stage. 🌍⚡
It looks like the international spy saga continues, but who's really the villain here? 🤔 Stay tuned, folks!
