He is familiar with the situation on the peninsula and is an "important executor" of the country's policy toward the DPRK. However, because of this, he became a key target of foreign intelligence agencies.
During his tenure in South Korea, Li Binh was caught up in the temptation of “beautiful men” and money, gradually falling into each other’s trap. Over more than a decade, he continued to leak secret diplomatic documents to South Korea and even the United States.
Among them, the worst result is: China has lost passive profits due to the leakage of confidentiality in the “South Rock Reef Maritime Rights and Interests Negotiations.”

From scientific research elite to "information trafficker": Huang Yu's depravity
Huang Yu, a native of Sichuan, was born in 1974. Children from other families are extremely talented and have excellent electronic skills. After graduation, he successfully entered a certain place in my country Confidential research unitsWork, this is how many people dream of "iron plate + honor job".
The smartest people are afraid of it. too smart。He always felt that his talents were underappreciated and buried, his eyes were high, his hands were low, and his spirit was higher than the sky.
After being brushed down by the last elimination system of the scientific research institute, he didn't reflect on it, but was indignant, thinking that "the country doesn't know talents". Under this resentment, he was targeted by overseas spy organizations on the dark web.

They have high academic qualifications, good positions, and strong trust, but because of their dissatisfaction with the system (Huang Yu), lust trap (Li Bin), greed for enjoyment (Cai Xiaohong), emotional dependence (Zhang Xiangbin), they push themselves into the abyss step by step.
External forces have long developed a "psychological breakthrough war": first use "academic exchanges" to get closer, and then use Money, emotions, gambling and threatsSet up bureaus at different levels. What they want is not one-time information, but long-term control.
This is also the reason the National Security Agency has repeatedly emphasized in recent years. “Defense, not just the enemy, but more defensive.”

Loyalty is not a slogan, but the bottom line.Protecting this line is more important than any firewall.
