Norks Expand Counter-Intelligence Force in China
2010-03-15
North Korea has reportedly increased the deployment of counter-intelligence officials to China in light of the reclusive country's mounting social tensions over its recent currency reform.

Radio Free Asia says the number of North Korean counter-intelligence officials stationed at China's Yanji city in Jilin Province rose from six to more than 10 in February. The men are said to be in charge of exposing contacts leaking inside information outside the border and also collecting data on North Korean human rights groups based in Seoul.

Quoting an unnamed Chinese official, RFA also said the counter-intelligence officials were working to find the names of those who help sources within the North contact people in South Korea.

Whatever they do seems to be stupid, but it also doesn't really seem to faze the Chinese.

Of course not, Joe. They plan to conquer and incorporate territory into China proper before they build bases.

China, once again, is one bad crop year from famine and internal strife. The current solar minimum may be the trigger for that bad crop year.

#3  This would be an excellent opportunity to smudge the Norks by using a disinformation program to make it look like they were spying on the Chinese military, with an eye to doing something incredibly stupid.
