Chinese Firm's Leaked Hacking Files Expose Global Spying Operation

Leaked documents from a Chinese security contractor, I-Soon, reveal extensive hacking activities and tools used by Chinese authorities to spy on both Chinese citizens and foreigners, including ethnic minorities and dissidents. The leaked files detail methods for surveilling dissidents overseas, hacking networks across Asia, and promoting pro-Beijing narratives on social media. The documents also indicate ties to the Ministry of Public Security and China's military, with targets including governments, telecommunications firms, and online gambling companies. Western governments have taken steps to block Chinese state surveillance and harassment of government critics overseas, while Chinese officials have accused the United States of similar activities.
