- The German Federal Prosecutor's office on Monday said three German nationals were arrested under the strong suspicion of having worked for the Chinese secret service.
Prosecutors believe the three may have been involved in research projects that could be useful for China to expand its maritime power.
The three suspects, Herwig F, Ina F. and Thomas R, were arrested by officers of the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) in the western German cities of Düsseldorf and Bad Homburg.
The defendants' homes and workplaces were also searched.
The charges relate to espionage "at a point in time that cannot be precisely determined before June 2022."

Tip of the iceberg
If you think there's a lot of Chinese spies in Germany wait till you learn about how many CIA assets are in the German establishment. Germany is a compromised country, compromised by Russia, China and the US. It's quite sad tbh.
zero versus zero
1000%
They are everywhere.
*riceberg
They are everywhere. In every country. It's been decades. It's not only military technology. It's also trade secrets, R&D and commercial technologies.
C.IA is everywhere knowns throughout the world
Money laundering by Mainland Chinese everywhere too.
@@mengreat6982 Yeah, they wear immaculate suits-and-ties, drive luxury cars and live in the Forbidden City.
Every Chinese national working in a Western University and corporation is a spy.
@@mengreat6982 your point? CIA is protecting OUR western tech
This should be treated as treason
Isn't it..?
It is
Which it is !
They are, like the guy who stole all the specification profiles of F22 and F35 which costed America billions $ to develop, the Chinese guy only got a bit over 10 years jail eating Emperor's meal in an American jail, try China, it probably would have a different outcome??
It would be in america 100%
This is how 'Chinese R&D' works 🤢
CIA and MI6 all do this sort of work but when the west does it it's called intelligence gathering.
Pretty much, they even steal from their Russian ally.
@@zacksmith5963 Yeah.... you blindly defending the CCP with broken english doesn't prove my point at all does it? 🤣
How much does the CCP pay you guys in those bot farms?
@@zacksmith5963 "Chinese R&D is above Germany" - What a joke, China hasn't invented anything significant since the CCP purged China of academic during the revolution. Now they just steal what isn't nailed down from other nations like common thieves.
@@zacksmith5963 Perhaps, after stealing enough of it from every country they could get their fingers on.
Germany is under serious attack by Russia and China. This should not be underestimated.
Especially the Russians are very good at thsi game
So, the West must step up its game. "The game is ON!"
Russia can't even do anything about its own dark web cartel kingpin openly posting to CZcams about his work. FSB is not as clever as you seem to think it is.
We must stop attacks from China and Russia by acknowledging the ongoing conflict this is war.
Охота на ведьм...
Russia, Iran, North Korea ... we note all countries that are troublemakers and warmongers are affiliated with China.
And yet the Chinese would have you believe they're genius
It's all Face. One could also say it's all Farce
To be fair, the capacity to successfully steal intelligence has historically been a trait of history's more successful civilisations.
You realise Germany could just be making this up right?

Two UK citizens have been arrested for the same crime also. It makes one wonder if this was coordinated between the UK and Germany to send a clear message to China. The timing could be nothing more than coincidence too of course.
Nah they probably collabed

China Uncensored, Serpentza and Laowhy86 been warning about this for years. China has police stations they operate from in countries all over the world.

@@101yayo They don't make much money, a lot of their videos get demonetized, they do it because they're good guys who want to expose China's lies.
Not only they have been warning about this for years. Look to BBC, DW, CNN, etc. if you don't trust independent youtubers.
@@101yayoAs opposed to listening to the CCP?
But in their eyes, they only see $$$$$.
And how do the judicial consequences for spying compare in Germany and China?
In China, you disappear and your history is removed from all official records, including the internet.
Well as everyone knows US had a massive spying operation in Germany and even hacked into the former chancellors phone. What happened? Nothing at all. Germany just pretended it never happened. So I guess it is safe to assume that the judicial consequences for spying in Germany are non-existent.
Why does this come as a surprise to anyone?
BAN TIK TOK
Why ? 1st amendment
@zacksmith5963 because china banned Facebook Instagram Twitter CZcams Google and all of the Western social media sites/ apps. Also, tiktok is banned in china.

Germany must break diplomatic relationship with China & stop selling their cars in China also. Germany will be more prosperous & its economy will get better after that.
I honestly can't tell if this is serious. Germany will be more prosperous if they self sanction their cars? That's gotta be some 20 IQ take here.

They are everywhere. In the Philippines, one far flung city near one of the military EDCA sites has influx of Chinese students. Official numbers are over 400 but sources say there could be over 4,000 Chinese in that locality as some students have brought their families. This is just the tip of the iceberg though. Recently, a rented house of some Chinese near the capital was raided and found there are high powered firearms. Some POGO (online gaming companies) are also rumoured to be Chinese Sleeper Cells.
is there any technology or education that Chinese need from Philippine? why so many Chinese students influx into Philippine? i just heard that the Chinese students will choose the US or UK or some western countries as their oversea education destination, never heard Philippine is on the list.
@@pipiqiqi4010 as per the latest interview with the city mayor. Most of the Chinese students are there for postgraduate business studies. When I was in uni, there were international students too across the country but mostly were from South Korea and Japan. Philippines is popular especially with South Koreans as a cheaper alternative to obtain English-based education. It's just very concerning as the influx of Chinese students started when the new EDCA sites were announced and considering the growing conflict between China and the Philippines in the West Philippine Sea.
@@Ogmartofficial from what I've heard, some Chinese students just want to get the certification of the postgraduate, and they wouldn't go to Philippine for studying in person, they just learn from online. and these students are not the young generations, but some people who had worked for a long time and just want to get some higher education certification to make more salary.
@pipiqiqi4010 the figure was from the Philippine Bureau of Immigration, meaning they entered the country. They are not online students.
@@pipiqiqi4010 some might be doing it online or sort of a diploma mill. However, there are several reports from the locals. Plus, it's hard not to notice foreign Chinese are they have the tendency to congregate among themselves. In one of the universities, as per the local students, the Chinese students are given preferential treatment like setting aside a portion of their library as for Chinese students only. Also, some might not even be in the immigration numbers as there are also reports of Chinese people who have illegally obtained Filipino citizenship.
They’ve probably been in place since 1946…
No surprise
No worries, nsa is already here with alll access😅😅😅😅
Three spies, not even a drop in the bucket
so who's tapping the phones now lol
What a complete surprise 😂.
And 0 proof
An eye should be kept on as to what was transferred to China despite our having been told the espionage was caught early
This has been happening for a very long time. An eye should have been kept on it 20 or more years ago :)

Agriculture is among the biggest targets of IP theft by the PRC. “New China” paved over too much of its arable land and poisoned the rest with pesticides and industrial runoff, and has become unable to feed itself with the crops and methods it uses nowadays.
Then why did your Sholz go there？I don't understand, are they your enemy or your friend?
If only it were that simple. Much of German economic prosperity depends on selling 'our' stuff to China.
This is all part of manufacturing consent for what is to come.
Funny how 2 Brits were recently arrested too. Australia and Canada next 🤔 What nefarious villains these Chinese are, turning our own against us
