Chinese spies a threat to Czech industry, says Czech military intelligence

The Czech military intelligence service also said it had detected the activity of its Chinese equivalent in the Czech Republic last year. It said the greatest danger from China’s agents was in the area of industrial espionage. Czech and NATO security interests as well as the Czech arms industry were all threatened by the spying activities of the Chinese, it said. The Czech military intelligence pointed to China’s interest in advanced military technology in a previous report on 2008. Elsewhere in the report for 2009, which was posted on its website on Tuesday, it said terrorism remained a threat to the Czech Republic.
