“**The European Union’s top intelligence official canceled a trip to Taiwan after his top-secret preparations were seemingly leaked to Beijing in advance, according to two diplomats with knowledge of the situation.**
José Casimiro Morgado, director of the European Union Intelligence and Situation Centre, was supposed to make the below-the-radar visit to meet Taiwanese officials in October, according to the diplomats.
However, **the EU spy chief’s plan came to a halt after Beijing got hold of the information and put pressure on the EU to scrap what would have been an unusually sensitive visit amid China’s escalating military threats on Taiwan**, which Beijing considers part of its own territory.
The development calls into question whether a human or data leak from the EU was involved, with diplomats also concerned about the EU’s change of plans after Beijing’s intervention.
**The Chinese mission to the EU, when asked about Morgado’s original plan, said China “has consistently and firmly opposed any form of official exchanges between the Taiwan region and countries or organizations having diplomatic ties with China.”**
So, does this mean the CCP Regime has infiltrated active spies in the EU high ranks? Cause If so the EU should start some internal investigations.
Worse thing to do is cancelling the trip. They should just get on with it. Never give in to bullies.
WTF Europe?!
Get that guy on a plane to Taipei ASAP
Does not anyone think this is a bit worrying that the trip got leaked…most likely internally by someone at the EU realistically.
Doesn’t seem overly watertight…and suggests there are some either sympathetic or not wanting to alienate Beijing against intelligence departments wishes.
