Interesting article, it also beings up the question(in my mind) how operatives can operate in a hostile environment(not necessarily hostile, just one in which they don't want to be caught).
How could US (or British for that matter) HUMINT operate in places such as PR-China (which is beginning to operate such pervasive surveillance systems) without leaving a trail. How can you be a real/digital ghost?
- tokenadult 17y agoHow could US (or British for that matter) HUMINT operate in places such as PR-China By taking advantage of the pervasive corruption in China to bribe Chinese nationals ("agents") who are cross-checked for their ability to provide the U.S. or British citizens ("operatives") with information. That's how the C.I.A. has long gathered a lot of its human intelligence in a lot of countries. It doesn't always work, but neither do any other country's attempts to gather intelligence always work against the United States or Britain.
