Chinese Spies: From Chairman Mao to Xi Jinping is a book by French journalist Roger Faligot which examines the history of Chinese espionage, particularly the contemporary Ministry of State Security (MSS). Originally released in French, the book has been released in many iterations since 1987 under the title Les Service Secret Chinois but received little critical attention until the 2019 release of an English translation of the updated 4th edition translated by Natasha Lehrer.[1]
