CHINA-INTERNAL: ESPIONAGE

 An Editorial in the Global Times, an official newspaper and affiliate of the CCP mouthpiece People's Daily, on September 18, 2014, demanded that if foreign media reports of the arrest last year of Ma Jisheng, till recently China's Ambassador to Iceland, for alleged leaking state secrets to Japan  were true, then details of the arrest should be made public. The Editorial regretted that the series of serious incidents of leaking intelligence involving senior diplomats, military officers and senior members of the national think tanks, etc reveal low security awareness and must be corrected.  

Reporting on Ma Jisheng's arrest, the Hongkong-based Ming Pao on September 18, 2014,  revealed that Ma Jisheng had  worked as secretary at the Chinese Embassy in Japan between 1991 and 1995, and as counselor between 2004 and 2008. He returned to China and became Deputy Director of Information in the Foreign Ministry before being appointed Ambassador to Iceland in 2012.
