Is there a Chinese Intelligence Agency? Why is it not well known?
score:0
Accepted answer
One reason is that they don't operate using conventional means or targets. A lot of their military spying is through hacking or other computer operations rather than human intelligence. They don't have many military men or "professional" spies working abroad.
These people are at home coordinating the efforts of "patriotic" civilians, students, exchange professionals, other visitors, etc. These efforts are directly mainly at economic targets (although they won't pass up military targets).

Of course they have. A whole ministry, no less. Very few states have no intelligence organizations.
