I spy. Daily. But that’s only because I live in China, which has a very loose definition of spying ():
BEIJING (AFP) - A senior journalist for Singapore’s Straits Times newspaper detained last month has confessed to being a spy for foreign intelligence organs, China has claimed, a charge that can carry the
death sentence.
Ching Cheong, 55, the Hong Kong-based chief China correspondent for the paper, was detained on April 22 in the southern city of Guangzhou…
"Ching has admitted that in recent years he has been following the instructions of overseas intelligence organisations and has undertaken intelligence collecting activities on mainland China.
Given that the role of a foreign correspondent is to gather information for overseas organizations, I believe this ‘confession’ could have been extracted simply by asking Ching for his job description.
