Spy agencies entice Chinese students

Some Chinese college students are facing the lure and danger of being recruited by foreign intelligence agencies for espionage purposes, Chinese media has reported.

One unidentified overseas intelligence agency has launched dozens of cyber instigation attempts on Chinese college students, about 30 cases of which were cracked down on by China's national security authorities in more than 10 provincial regions, according to a latest report by the Global Times.

An increasing number of cases have been discovered on campuses since 2012, an anonymous source familiar with the subject was quoted as saying.
