Detained Chinese 'spy' tags Alice Guo as asset

A self-confessed Chinese spy has linked detained former Bamban mayor Alice Guo to China's civilian intelligence, security and secret police agency.

She Zhijiang, a tycoon currently detained in Thailand, spoke exclusively with AI Jazeera in a documentary titled "She Zhijiang: Discarded Chinese spy or criminal mastermind?" In the documentary, She claimed that he was an agent of China's Ministry of State Security and that he was recruited in 2016 by a man he met in the Philippines.

She, who is fighting extradition to China over charges related to operating online gambling sites, said the man promised to "get rid" of the case against him in exchange for being a spy for the Chinese government.

Through a custodian, She gave AI Jazeera access to some files that supposedly prove his claim of being a Chinese spy.

Among the documents was a dossier about Guo Hua Ping, the supposed Chinese name of Alice Guo.

The dossier listed China as Guo's place of birth and also identified her mother as a certain Lin Wen Yi, the same Chinese woman that has been brought up during Senate hearings regarding Guo's identity.
