China’s Public Security Ministry has announced an underway investigation of a former employee suspected of spying for the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) after being recruited at an American embassy abroad.
The ministry identified the alleged spy as 39-year-old Hao in a Monday statement, saying that the ex-employee, whose gender was not revealed, had gone to Japan for studies, where the spying recruitment occurred.
The statement came less than two weeks after the ministry also declared that it had uncovered another national suspected of spying for the CIA after being recruited in the US embassy in Italy.
According to the ministry, Hao had become acquainted with a US embassy official known as "Ted" who handled the visa application and then invited Hao for dinners, presented gifts and asked Hao to help him write a paper for money.
Ted later introduced Hao to a colleague, identified as Li Jun before his term at the embassy in Tokyo ended, the ministry added, noting that Li and Hao then maintained a "cooperative relationship."
Before Hao completed studying, Li revealed being Tokyo-based CIA personnel and "instigated Hao into rebelling," directing Hao to return back to China and work for a "core and critical unit," according to the ministry’s statement.
Hao then signed an espionage agreement, accepting assessment and training from the United States, it further noted as cited in a Reuters report.

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps’ (IRGC) Intelligence Unit says Iran will consider the Israeli regime’s shelters “legitimate targets” if residential areas in the country come under attack.
In a post published on social media platform X on Tuesday, the IRGC said that any strikes on residential areas in Iran would give Iran’s armed forces the right to attack Israeli shelters in the occupied lands.

The IRGC’s Public Relations Department said in a statement on Tuesday that it had carried out the 79th wave of its ongoing retaliatory Operation True Promise 4 against the Israeli and American targets.
Deploying powerful Kheybar Shekan, Emad, and Sejjil missiles alongside IRGC Aerospace Force kamikaze drones, the operation successfully breached the regime's multi-layered air defense systems, the statement said.
The missiles, it stated, targeted Israel’s intelligence facilities in northern and central Tel Aviv, as well as military commercial and support centers in Ramat Gan and the Negev.
The missiles also hit Israel’s southern military logistics and command headquarters in Beersheba.
