German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer warned against facing a threat through China, indicating that this was related, for example, to espionage. “Hybrid threats come from China that we must confront,” Seehofer told the German weekly newspaper “Welt am Sonntag” in its Sunday issue. “We know that the Chinese are interested in our sensitive infrastructure,” he added. He added that this is happening in parallel with the Chinese “Silk Roads” strategy, and said: “This is something different from what we experienced in the Cold War.” The German Interior Minister's warning about the possibility of China resorting to espionage falls within what was reported by European media that believes that China has planted its spies in many European countries, and the matter even included some European universities. Earlier, the Belgian State Security Service expressed concerns that Chinese students studying at Belgian universities may be involved in espionage for the Chinese army. According to the security service, students of military research institutes, such as the Chinese National University of Defense Technology, are sent to a number of countries in Western Europe, including Belgium, specifically to obtain knowledge important for the development of the military field. The report indicates that dozens of "military students" from China are studying at Belgian universities. China responds: "deliberate slander" As for Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian, he announced earlier that the Belgian intelligence report regarding possible espionage by Chinese students is completely baseless and deliberately distorts China's reputation. A report issued last May in the French newspaper Le Monde stated that Belgian intelligence believes that the Maltese embassy in Brussels was hacked by Chinese spies. The Malta government quickly denied what was stated in the Le Monde report. During a press conference that came after a meeting of the bloc's foreign ministers, Borrell said that no one informed him of this, as he "learned from the press," adding that he did not have any information about the matter and that it was "difficult for him" to comment on the matter. The "Le Monde" report indicates that Belgian National Security had suspicions about Chinese intelligence moving into the Malta embassy, ​​whose headquarters is located near the headquarters of the European Commission, in order to spy on European institutions. The report adds that Belgian intelligence believes that espionage may continue to this day. Two are tried on charges of spying for China The trial of two former French intelligence agents, Henri M. (73 years old), began. And Pierre-Marie H. (69 years old) on Monday before the Special Criminal Court in Paris on charges of treason on behalf of China, during a closed session in order to “prevent the disclosure of information related to national defense.” The two former agents of the French General Directorate of External Security are being tried on charges of "communicating information to a foreign power," "harming the basic interests of the nation," and "communicating with a foreign power." They face a 15-year prison sentence. Several media reports stated that the two defendants, who worked together in the General Directorate of External Security in the 1990s, spied on foreign intelligence on behalf of China. The ruling in their case is expected to be issued on July 10. Dispense with Chinese technology The Prime Minister is expected to announce
