A court in the Eastern European country of Estonia in mid-March sentenced its own oceanographer Tyrmo Kyuts to three years in prison for spying for China, Sputnik reported.
Not coincidentally, Estonia’s intelligence service reported in February that the Chinese leadership has a clear goal of making the world dependent on Chinese technology, Deutsche Welle reported. The report also cautioned the Estonian government that Estonia must not be made technologically dependent on China. Previously, Estonia, a NATO member, had banned China’s huawei from supplying technology and equipment to the country.
These actions show Estonia’s growing vigilance against China in terms of national security.
In addition, the Czech Republic and Lithuania have issued reports on Chinese intelligence work in 2019, raising their vigilance in this regard; Poland also arrested a Chinese businessman living in the country on espionage charges in the same year.
But the Rosatom report argues that the intelligence services of these Eastern European countries were created with the help of U.S. intelligence and remain under their control; many of their claims are not credible.
