Beware of Handsome Foreigners

To Beijing with love: Chinese security poster warns of ‘dangerous’ handsome foreign spies who steal hearts – and secrets

Education campaign, aimed at rank-and-file state workers, tells of civil servant Xiao Li wooed by fake scholar into passing on government documents

 

 

 

China marked National Security Education Day with a comic-book poster warning young female government workers about dating handsome foreigners, who could turn out to have secret agendas.

Titled Dangerous Love, the 16-panel poster tells the story of an attractive young Chinese civil servant nicknamed Xiao Li, or “Little Li”, who meets a red-headed foreign man at a dinner party and starts a relationship.

. . .

 

After Xiao Li provides David with secret internal documents from her job at a government propaganda office, the two are arrested.

In one of the poster’s final panels, Xiao Li is shown sitting handcuffed before two policemen, who tell her that she has a “shallow understanding of secrecy for a state employee. You are suspected of violating our nation’s law.”

Yes, the same strip was reported in a number of different outlets- I was unable to post any pictures from the SCMP version, though.
