Many people, including me, are, however, of the opinion that this is just a publicly stunt (ala North Korea) to win the sympathy of citizens, coming from the background of recent international backlash from mishandling of COVID-19 and human rights abuse of Africans.

China's spy agency reveals details of a failed coup plotted by a former official who 'colluded with foreign forces to overthrow the Communist Party'

China's Ministry of State Security has revealed details of a failed subversion plot against the Communist Party as a warning to the citizens about national security.

A former party official was convicted of plotting to subvert state power with 'foreign enemy forces‘, according to Chinese media.

Anti-foreign sentiment has been exacerbating in China amid the coronavirus crisis as the country sees political tensions rising with the US and several African countries over the pandemic.

It also comes as Beijing's top official in Hong Kong has also urged the government to pass its national security laws in a bid to combat the local pro-democracy movement.

Officials also unveiled a series of espionage cases yesterday in the light of the country's fifth National Security Education Day, according to state media.

Cities across China launched campaigns and activities on Wednesday to raise awareness on national security and counter-espionage.

State broadcaster CCTV reported on Wednesday that the country's spy agency released details on a series of major cases threatening national security.

One subversion case involved a retired Communist party member who 'reached out to foreign enemy forces and plotted to stage terrorist activities and subvert state power', according to the press.

The former official, known by his surname Su, worked at a school in Yunnan Province of southwestern China for several years.

He reportedly posted several anti-government articles online and got in contact with 'some key members of an overseas enemy force' in 2016, according to CCTV.

Mr Su plotted to overthrow the Communist Party with one of the members from the unidentified organisation.

The pair initially planned to purchase weapons from overseas and hire mercenaries to attack the city's public security bureau and take over a local military ammunition base.

Mr Su's plot was foiled during the planning stage after the secret police tracked him down through chatting groups on the Chinese messenger app WeChat. He was caught discussing details of the weapons and funding with other plot members.

The former party member was charged with subverting state power in April last year.
