China’s Silent Recruitment Drive

from Auckland News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

China’s spies are hunting for insiders in New Zealand — using fake job offers and LinkedIn profiles to reel in government workers with security clearances. The NZSIS is sounding the alarm, warning that Chinese intelligence is actively recruiting through professional networks, posing as consultants or recruiters. They start with harmless small talk, then slowly steer conversations toward classified topics like military secrets or foreign policy. Don’t panic — don’t quit social media — but do stay sharp: never broadcast your clearance online, and treat any unsolicited job offer with extreme suspicion. This isn’t just a Kiwi problem — MI5 in the UK is seeing the same tactics. China denies it, but the Five Eyes are telling you: stay vigilant.
