A major leak containing a register with the details of nearly two million CCP members has occurred – exposing members who are now working all over the world, while also lifting the lid on how the party operates under Xi Jinping, says Sharri Markson. Ms Markson said the leak is a register with the details of Communist Party members, including their names, party position, birthday, national ID number and ethnicity. “It is believed to be the first leak of its kind in the world,” the Sky News host said. “What's amazing about this database is not just that it exposes people who are members of the communist party, and who are now living and working all over the world, from Australia to the US to the UK,” Ms Markson said. “But it's amazing because it lifts the lid on how the party operates under President and Chairman Xi Jinping”.

“Along with the personal identifying details of 1.95 million communist party members, mostly from Shanghai, there are also the details of 79,000 communist party branches, many of them inside companies”. Ms Markson said the leak is a significant security breach likely to embarrass Xi Jinping. “It is also going to embarrass some global companies who appear to have no plan in place to protect their intellectual property from theft. From economic espionage,” she said.

"The intellectual property of Australian companies, or any global companies, that has CCP employees embedded, unbeknownst to them, is at high risk of theft. "

"CCP members are obliged to purloin sensitive information if asked by China's intelligence agencies. They have no choice. But if they are Party members, it's what they sign up to. The Party comes first."

 

Best impending leak since Ashley Madison.

Ratcliffe reminder of why protectionism and "America First" > global "free trade", because there's no equal playing field for "free" to have any meaning:

The intelligence is clear: Beijing intends to dominate the U.S. and the rest of the planet economically, militarily and technologically. Many of China’s major public initiatives and prominent companies offer only a layer of camouflage to the activities of the Chinese Communist Party.

I call its approach of economic espionage “rob, replicate and replace.” China robs U.S. companies of their intellectual property, replicates the technology, and then replaces the U.S. firms in the global marketplace.

No doubts at all that those publicly cozying to China are likely on the CCP payroll, they're also likely low hanging fruit. Guanxi doesn't care about the "optics" of corruption.

I wonder if Swalwell is on the list?
