NEW DELHI, India, 20 September 2020
Freelance journalist Rajeev Sharma who was arrested by the Special Cell of the Delhi Police for passing sensitive information about India’s border strategy and Army’s deployment and procurement was told by his Chinese handlers to write on issues related to the Dalai Lama and was offered USD 500 per article.
The 61-year-old journalist told the cops that he came in contact with another Kunming based Chinese man named George in January after which he visited Kunming via Kathmandu and met the Chinese intelligence officer who was introduced as a General Manager of a Chinese media company.
During the interaction, George asked Rajeev Sharma to write about Dalai Lama related issues and was offered USD 500 per article. George told Sharma that he will be receiving the money through his company’s sister concern based in Mahipalpur, Delhi which was being operated by a Chinese woman Qing.
Received more than Rs 30 lakh from Chinese agent
Sharma received more than Rs 30 lakh from George in about 10 instalments from January 2019 to September 2020 for the information provided by him. He also met George in Malaysia and again in Kunming.
The cops have already arrested Chinese woman Qing Shi and her Nepalese partner Sher Singh alias Raj Bohra. The duo was paying Sharma huge amounts of money routed through hawala channels.
During the interrogation, Sharma revealed that he had sent several documents in the form of reports to his handlers and got paid handsomely.
Used to write weekly column for CCP mouthpiece Global Times
Sharma used to write a weekly column for the Chinese Communist Party mouthpiece ‘Global Times’ during 2010-2014. A Chinese intelligence agent named Michael from China’s Kunming city contacted Rajeev Sharma through his LinkedIn account after reading these columns and invited him to Kunming for an interview with a Chinese media company.
Between 2016 and 2018 Rajeev Sharma was tasked to provide information on issues like Indian deployment at the Bhutan-Sikkim-China tri-junction including Doklam, the pattern of India-Myanmar military cooperation, India-China boundary issue etc.
Hope the trial of the NYPD Tibetan cop who after getting political asylum for fear of Chinese Government went for visits to China will reveal his Tibetan sources in USA.
The officer, Baimadajie Angwang, 33, was taken into custody on Monday, officials said. He has served as a patrol officer and most recently worked as a community affairs officer in the 111th precinct in Queens.
A 25-page criminal complaint unsealed in federal court in Brooklyn accused Mr. Angwang of reporting on the activities of ethnic Tibetans in New York at the behest of Chinese government officials, who were seeking to recruit intelligence sources in the community.
China has default strategy:
1: Bribery clothed in honors and access and cash;
2: Good cop Bad cop…slimy friendship or deadly punishment;
3: Always accepting temporary loss for long time gains.., smiling slavishly to gain compromising documentation ;
4: Whether the 1000 cuts by Palace eunuchs or the CCP dictatorship “of the proletariat” is government by destroying personal identity to re-educate citizen to behave without compassion or nobility but say as Jackie Chan: We Chinese must be controlled.”
