The Beijing Institute of Electronics Technology and Application (BIETA), a Chinese company, has been assessed to be under the likely control of the Ministry of State Security (MSS). The assessment is based on evidence linking at least four BIETA employees to MSS officers. Additionally, BIETA’s relationship with the University of International Relations, an institution known for its connections to the MSS, supports this claim.
This linkage poses significant national security concerns, especially regarding espionage and intelligence gathering activities conducted under the guise of commercial research institutions. The involvement of multiple personnel with intelligence ties highlights potential risks of technology transfer or cyber operations. The report underscores the need for increased scrutiny and monitoring of entities with opaque affiliations to state security services.
