For those of you who specialize in Chinese intelligence activities, you should be aware of a book that was published back in 2013 entitled “Chinese Industrial Espionage: Technology Acquisition and Military Modernization”, written by William C. Hannas, James Mulvenon, and Anna B. Puglisi. This book is part of British publisher Routledge’s excellent Asian Security Studies series.
