The European Intelligence Academy has published a new essay by Nicholas Eftimiades, a 34-year veteran of the United States Central Intelligence Agency, the Department of State, and the Defense Intelligence Agency, and the author of the seminal Chinese Espionage Operations and Tactics (2020), which is widely viewed as the standard unclassified work on the subject. In his paper for the EIA, which is entitled “Chinese Espionage Recruitment Motivations“, Eftimiades revisits the traditional MICE idea and offers a revision that reflects the complexity of Chinese espionage in our time. The paper can be accessed here.[pdf]
