Chinese local state security
authorities have arrested four suspects for leaking national defense secrets in
a special operation in southwest China's Sichuan Province, a source has said.
Sources who said the four suspects
all worked for the same military enterprise of national defense gave the
summary of all suspects and the offences committed as follow; In October 2014,
Wen, a young employee with the heat meter factory of the enterprise, found a
man issuing part-time recruitment information while chatting on QQ. The man
claimed that he was a journalist with an overseas newspaper and asked Wen to
provide some confidential materials related to his work by offering a monthly
pay of 3,200 yuan. Wen accepted the offer and provided such information as
models of military products, monthly output and special production materials.
Another young employee surnamed Wang
with the technology department of the enterprise was unsatisfied with the
salary and knew the "journalist" when looking for part-time jobs
online. Wang thought that he would not violate laws if providing the dynamics
of the enterprise to him, so he kept providing various information including
sample numbers and experiment dates.
In 2014, another young employee Wu
thought about changing his job and then uploaded his resume on a recruitment
website, which included his working experience with the military enterprise. A
"consultant with a head-hunting company" decided to recruit him with
an annual pay of up to 1.2 million yuan after checking his identifications and
labor contract, while the job was to provide confidential information about the
enterprise.
Facing the high salary, Wu kept an
ambivalent attitude towards the offer, and then became a target of the overseas
espionage agency, posing great threats to national defense security.
At the beginning of 2013, Li with
the technology department of the enterprise received a call from a relative who
wanted Li to provide some aerospace information to a foreign friend. Initially,
Li declined the invitation, but he was finally persuaded into contacting the
"friend".
The "friend" asked Li to
search for periodicals, magazines and theses about aerospace, but Li failed to
find the materials and then recommended his former classmate Cheng. Cheng
defected and Li became an accomplice of the overseas espionage agency.
The South African government has asked the Sudanese government to send someone other than president Omer Hassan al-Bashir for the Forum Of China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) scheduled for next December in Johannesburg, according to report
The report stated that Bashir’s attendance at the African Union (AU) in South Africa last June created a diplomatic and legal mess for the South African government which not only violated the International Criminal Court (ICC) obligations, but also an explicit order by the High Court to prevent the Sudanese leader from departing pending a decision on whether to extradite him to the Hague.
It would be recalled that the Sudanese leader fled the country hours before the High Court ordered his arrest and the South African government told the judges that he sneaked out without their knowledge.
The ICC issued two arrest warrants for Bashir in 2009 and 2010 charging him with war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity in Sudan’s western region of Darfur.
Despite losing appeal case at the High Court, South Africa’s International Relations minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane and other members of the ruling African National Congress (ANC) subcommittee on international relations insisted last week that Bashir is free to attend FOCAC if he wished without fearing arrest.
The ANC also announced that it has voted to begin the process of leaving the ICC and unsigning the Rome Statute which is the founding charter of the Hague-based court. It further disclosed that it will push for an African en masse withdrawal from the tribunal in the upcoming summit next January.
However the Pretoria-based Sunday Times newspaper reported on Monday that the ANC and government insiders disclosed that there have been behind-the-scenes talks with Khartoum over Sudan’s level of attendance at the December summit.
A senior diplomatic official told the newspaper that Bashir would not attend the December event, to avoid controversy.
"There is an agreement that he won’t come and the foreign minister will probably lead their delegation. He also doesn’t want to go through that again [the attempt to arrest him in June]," said the government official.
A senior ANC national executive committee member said on Friday there was consensus in the government and the ANC that Bashir should not return to the country until ICC and government processes have been completed.

China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) scheduled for next December in
Johannesburg, according to report
The report stated that Bashir’s attendance at the African Union (AU) in South Africa last June created a diplomatic and legal mess for the South African government which not only violated the International Criminal Court (ICC) obligations, but also an explicit order by the High Court to prevent the Sudanese leader from departing pending a decision on whether to extradite him to the Hague.
It would be recalled that the Sudanese leader fled the country hours before the High Court ordered his arrest and the South African government told the judges that he sneaked out without their knowledge.
The ICC issued two arrest warrants for Bashir in 2009 and 2010 charging him with war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity in Sudan’s western region of Darfur.
Despite losing appeal case at the High Court, South Africa’s International Relations minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane and other members of the ruling African National Congress (ANC) subcommittee on international relations insisted last week that Bashir is free to attend FOCAC if he wished without fearing arrest.
The ANC also announced that it has voted to begin the process of leaving the ICC and unsigning the Rome Statute which is the founding charter of the Hague-based court. It further disclosed that it will push for an African en masse withdrawal from the tribunal in the upcoming summit next January.
However the Pretoria-based Sunday Times newspaper reported on Monday that the ANC and government insiders disclosed that there have been behind-the-scenes talks with Khartoum over Sudan’s level of attendance at the December summit.
A senior diplomatic official told the newspaper that Bashir would not attend the December event, to avoid controversy.
"There is an agreement that he won’t come and the foreign minister will probably lead their delegation. He also doesn’t want to go through that again [the attempt to arrest him in June]," said the government official.
A senior ANC national executive committee member said on Friday there was consensus in the government and the ANC that Bashir should not return to the country until ICC and government processes have been completed.
