Beijing is mining publicly available data to look for angles, milk advantages. Read more at straitstimes.com.
WASHINGTON – China’s intelligence agencies are investing deeply in open-source intelligence to learn more about the capabilities of the US military in the Pacific and beyond, according to a new report.
With Beijing’s investments in big data management, mining publicly available sources of information could give China an advantage in collecting intelligence on the US and its allies. “The US Naval War College has a China Maritime Studies Institute, and it produces a lot of open-source research on China,” said Ms Zoe Haver, a threat intelligence analyst with Recorded Future. “This is done in an academic setting, but ultimately foreign governments consider this valuable intelligence.”China’s secret intelligence-gathering abilities have grown in leaps and bounds in recent decades, and Beijing’s investment in open-source information has intensified over the past decade.
“The PLA very much assumes the US will, in some form, intervene in a Taiwan conflict, and they work very hard to prepare for that type of scenario,” Ms Haver said.
