China University of Science and Technology New Alumni Foundation clarifies that Zhang Jiange, who was convicted of espionage, has nothing to do with China University of Science and Technology. He provides | agency | investigation | spy | Jack | intelligence | personnel | Zhang Jiange

On August 7, the WeChat official account of the "China University of Science and Technology New Alumni Foundation" pointed out that some We Media said that Zhang Jiange, a former scientific research institute who was sentenced by the court to 15 years' imprisonment for espionage, graduated from the University of Science and Technology of China, and even studied in the junior class of the University of Science and Technology of China.

According to a survey conducted by the New Alumni Foundation of the University of Science and Technology of China, it has been verified that Zhang Jiange has never studied at the university. He graduated from a prestigious western university and has no connection with the University of Science and Technology of China.

The China University of Science and Technology New Alumni Foundation stated that the archives of the China University of Science and Technology Alumni Association, the China University of Science and Technology Archives, and the New Alumni Foundation did not record any student status information of Zhang Jiange.

The reporter from Pengpai News noticed that CCTV News released a report on April 15, 2020, the fifth National Security Education Day in China, introducing several typical cases disclosed by the News Office of the Ministry of National Security to the public. Among them is the case of Zhang Jiange.

According to CCTV news reports, with the continuous improvement of China's comprehensive national strength, foreign spy intelligence agencies are becoming more active in infiltrating China's intelligence. They target the core confidential personnel of China's party and government organs, military enterprises, and research institutes, and do everything in their power to gather and incite rebellion, collecting China's core confidential intelligence. In this disclosed case, there is a typical spy case that betrayed important military intelligence in our country.

The person sitting in a car closely followed by investigators from national security agencies is Zhang Jiange, who is suspected of selling important military industry classified materials in our country. Just as Zhang Jiange was preparing to leave the country, investigators arrested him at the airport.

CCTV News reported that Zhang Jiange is a senior researcher at a certain military research institute, whose research field involves the development of important military weapons and even cutting-edge weapons in China. He holds core secrets of China. After Zhang Jiange was arrested, investigators found confidential scientific research materials he was preparing to take out of the country in his luggage. So how did Zhang Jiange become a spy serving foreign intelligence agencies?

In 2011, the research institute where Zhang Jiange worked secured the opportunity for him to visit a Western country for academic purposes. From the moment he set foot on overseas land, his every move was closely monitored by foreign spy and intelligence agencies. A few months later, while attending an academic seminar, a man approached Zhang Jiange proactively.

Introduction by investigators from national security agencies: There is a man named Jack who claims to be a member of the foreign military. At the same time, this Jack told Zhang Jiange that he has a military project in his hands, which is quite attractive to researchers.

Due to having a lot of common language, Zhang Jiange and Jack had a great conversation. In the initial stage of their relationship, Jack not only solved many life problems for Zhang Jiange, but also used a luxury car to take him on trips and dine in high-end restaurants, which greatly satisfied Zhang Jiange's vanity.

In addition to these small favors, Jack also provided Zhang Jiange with a part-time job of $200 per hour, and promised to help his daughter study abroad and obtain residency rights. The good news of a windfall of wealth immersed Zhang Jiange in it, but the seemingly normal interpersonal relationships were shrouded in darkness. Just as Zhang Jiange was struggling to extricate himself from the huge temptation of money and benefits, Jack finally revealed his true face.

Zhang Jiange admitted that he said he worked for a spy agency, and I was also quite nervous at the time.

Introduction of investigators from national security agencies: I hope that Zhang Jiange can cooperate with him and become his intelligence offline, providing him with intelligence information.

Although he received confidentiality education in China and knew the consequences of doing so, in the face of huge interests, Zhang Jiange ultimately decided to accept this transaction. After returning to China, Zhang Jiange spared no effort in collecting military intelligence for foreign spies.

Introduction of investigators from national security agencies: Many weapons and equipment in our country that have not yet been put into active service and are not equipped have been leaked by Zhang Jiange. He has revealed without reservation the situation of our research on cutting-edge weapons, the direction of our research, and the current status of our research to the spy intelligence agencies.

Zhang Jiange admitted that the initial capital is 3000 US dollars, and if you consult abroad in the future, you will always deposit 5000 US dollars in your account.

A core confidential person was dragged down like this, heading towards the path of crime. After trial, Zhang Jiange was sentenced to fifteen years in prison by the court for the crime of espionage.

The shocking typical cases remind us to attach great importance to maintaining political and military security. At the same time, in non-traditional security fields such as the internet, ecology, resources, and biology, China also faces various risks and challenges.

Maintaining national security is not only the responsibility of specialized agencies, but also the obligation of every citizen and organization. Let us join hands to implement the overall national security concept, vigorously strengthen national security education for all, continuously enhance national security awareness, and strive to form a strong joint force to maintain national security, providing strong guarantees for the comprehensive construction of a moderately prosperous society and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
