The Ministry of State Security issued a statement on Friday via social media regarding advanced surveillance technology allegedly employed by foreign intelligence services. The report detailed the use of novel spying equipment designed to gather crucial data from underwater environments. According to the ministry’s report, the equipment involved attaching sensors to marine life, including turtles and fish, within specific Chinese waters.
The statement, referencing a mysterious operation named “Underwater Waves,” alleged that these sensors were deployed in designated territories. The collected data reportedly included measurements of water temperature, salinity levels, and current patterns. Furthermore, the ministry claimed this information was transmitted via satellite to foreign entities.
The stated objective of this surveillance, as presented by the ministry, is to construct detailed “underwater maps” and to identify potential vulnerabilities within China’s coastal defense systems. The Ministry of State Security characterized this activity as representing a “serious threat to the country’s national security.” The report thus provided information about a sophisticated intelligence gathering operation taking place within Chinese waters.
