——Counterespionage efforts are strictly governed and constrained by law. Adhering to lawful procedures and judicial fairness constitutes the fundamental requirement for conducting counterespionage work. As competent bodies responsible for counterespionage operations, state security authorities strictly perform their duties within the legal mandate conferred by national legislation, expressly prohibited from overstepping or abusing their authority while safeguarding the lawful rights and interests of individuals and organizations in accordance with the law. This means that these institutions must consistently uphold principles of open and transparent law enforcement supervision. In April 2023, the Ministry of State Security launched for the first time public oversight channels of “Mailbox 100091-091”, as a dedicated supervision platform, and established “400-040-5198” as an all-day operated dedicated supervision hotline. On April 26, 2024, the Ministry publicly released the Provisions on Administrative Law Enforcement Procedures of State Security Organs and the Provisions on Criminal Case Handling Procedures by State Security Organs for the first time. These measures strictly standardize law enforcement activities of state security organs, further placing counterespionage efforts under comprehensive societal supervision to ensure that every counter-measurement withstands the scrutiny of both law and history.
