New Report on China’s SIGINT Agency, the Third Department, and its Cyber Espionage Unit in Shanghai, Unit 61398

July 27, 2015

The Project 2049 Institute in northern Virginia has just issued another very detailed and richly illustrated 25-page report on Chinese SIGINT entitled The PLA General Staff Department Third Department Second Bureau: An Organizational Overview of Unit 61398. The report’s author, Mark A. Stokes, knows his stuff.

Stokes focuses the report’s attention on the major Chinese SIGINT and cyber spying hub at Shanghai, whose principal focus is stealing the government, military and economic secrets of the United States. And best still, Stokes tells you where he found his information.

If your interest is signals intelligence or Chinese spying, this report is an absolute “must read.” The report can be accessed here.
