China's Ministry of State Security Warns Citizens of Foreign Espionage Honeytraps

The cautionary tale of Li Si, blackmailed into leaking classified information, is used to raise awareness of the dangers.

China's Ministry of State Security has warned its citizens against 'exotic beauty' honeytraps set by foreign spies, using the story of a man named Li Si as an example.
Li Si, who worked for a state-owned firm, was allegedly lured into a compromising situation by foreign intelligence agencies while on an overseas trip.
Li Si was blackmailed with explicit photos into leaking intelligence and handing over his laptop, which contained valuable classified information.
Even after returning to China, Li Si was continuously coerced into providing the foreign spy agency with classified information, causing 'immeasurable harm' to China's national security.
Li Si is now facing trial in China. The Ministry of State Security is using this case to raise awareness among citizens about the dangers of foreign espionage.
