China's Intelligence Agency Publicly Lists '10 Cups of Tea' Offenses

The offenses, which could lead to questioning, revolve around national security, state secrets, and violations of the updated anti-espionage law.

China's Ministry of State Security has publicly listed 10 offenses that could lead to individuals being summoned for questioning, a euphemism known as 'an invitation to tea'.
The offenses mainly revolve around national security, state secrets, and violations of the country’s updated anti-espionage law.
This announcement comes as China, including Hong Kong, is tightening its legal framework to address potential threats to national security.
China’s anti-espionage measures have also targeted foreign entities, with the Chinese spy agency recently arresting the head of a foreign consulting firm on charges of conducting espionage for the U.K.'s MI6.
The Chinese government’s intensified focus on national security and espionage comes amid a global crackdown on cyber espionage.
