Chinese Spies is by a French journalist, Roger Faligot, who has written a lot about intelligence. This is a history of spying in China from the 20th century onwards, starting with the founding of the Chinese Communist Party in 1921, which was broken up by the police. The Soviets loom large in the early years. Faligot writes: “The history of the Chinese Communist Party had barely even begun and it had already exposed a shadowy web of informants, secret police and spies.”
