Chinese Ministry Warns of “Secret War” in Seas Amid Data Collection Concerns
The Chinese Ministry issued a warning on Friday regarding what it describes as a “secret war” unfolding in the seas surrounding China. According to a report by The Guardian, the ministry alleges that foreign agencies are engaged in clandestine data collection operations, utilizing advanced surveillance technology to create detailed underwater maps. The ministry asserts this activity represents a “serious threat to national security.” Specifically, the ministry claims foreign entities are employing various new spy devices to gather sensitive information.
This includes the alleged use of marine animals, such as turtles and fish, fitted with sensors. These animals are purportedly collecting real-time data on key marine environmental factors, including water temperature, salinity, and ocean currents. Data gathered in this manner is then transmitted to foreign countries via satellite links.
The ministry has not disclosed specific locations where these activities are occurring. The concern centers around which Chinese sea areas are being targeted and the nature of the data being collected. The ministry’s statement highlights a growing concern regarding potential espionage activities within China’s maritime territories.
