New Zealand's Security Intelligence Service (NZSIS) has accused China of conducting espionage activities on its soil at an unprecedented scale. The agency's annual threat assessment report highlights an attempt by a Chinese organization, Purple Mountain Observatory, to install ground-based space infrastructure (GBSI) in New Zealand for intelligence gathering. The report also warns of Chinese military intelligence services targeting professional networking sites and online job platforms to recruit New Zealand citizens with access to state secrets.
