Methods of Spying: China's Thousand Grains of Sand Approach

China employs various methods in spying, such as the 'thousand grains of sand' approach, which involves using students, businessmen, and tourists to gather intelligence. They blanket the field with operatives and do not worry about losing some or being caught. Another method is 'fish at the bottom of the sea,' as seen in the case of the grad student G. Chautun. China recruits individuals and places them strategically to gain intelligence. Both the US and China are engaged in a full-blown spy versus spy situation.
