India, United States and many other countries will have to be be aware of China's growing success in human intelligence recruitment alongside technological surveillance because technology, internet and mobile apps are not the only tools China has been using.

It is reported that both officers were respected employees with one of them having served earlier as DGSC's top officer or station chief in Beijing. He was apparently called back from Beijing to Paris after having an affair with the then French ambassador's Chinese interpreter. The said intelligence officer went back to China after his retirement and married the same Chinese woman interpreter. It is that and then he, you know, sort of relocated in China. Is it that the China is using women to entice and pull the foreign diplomats and foreign intelligence officers? The French intelligence officers were arrested post their retirement in December 2017. And one of them was found with a bag full of cash in Switzerland when he was returning from one of the islands in the Indian Ocean after having met some Chinese official.
