On this day, 32 years ago, on October 7, 1993 (August 22, 1993 in the lunar calendar), Ming Pao reporter Xi Yang was arrested for stealing state secrets. On October 7, 1993, Hong Kong's Ming Pao reporter Xi Yang engaged in stealing and spying on state financial secrets. The evidence was conclusive. With the approval of the branch of the Beijing City People's Procuratorate, the Beijing City National Security Bureau arrested him in accordance with the National Security Law of the People's Republic of China. Previously, the Beijing City National Security Bureau had arrested Tian Ye, a staff member of the People's Bank of China, the main criminal who illegally provided Xi Yang with state financial secrets. Tian Ye was instructed by Xi Yang to spy on and illegally provide a large amount of financial secrets for Xi Yang. The financial secrets stolen by Xi and Tian included the unannounced plan for changing deposit and loan interest rates of the People's Bank of China, the decision-making secrets of the People's Bank of China's participation in international gold transactions and other major financial secrets, which have caused serious consequences. The national security agencies have seized conclusive evidence related to this, and Xi Yang and Tian Ye confessed to the above-mentioned acts endangering national security. The person in charge of the Beijing City National Security Bureau pointed out that Xi and Tian's actions violated the criminal laws of the People's Republic of China and had nothing to do with normal reporter interviews. The case was purely a criminal case.
