GERMANY is under attack from an increasing number of state-backed Chinese spying operations that are costing its economy tens of billions of euros a year, a leading German counterintelligence agent has said. Russia had only "hundreds of thousands of agents", compared with China's 1 million, but it had "years more experience". The areas most under attack included car manufacturing, renewable energy, chemistry, communication, optics, X-ray technology, machinery and armaments. Information being gathered was related to not only research and development but also management techniques and marketing strategies. Opfermann estimated that German companies were losing around €50bn (£43bn) and 30,000 jobs to industrial espionage every year.
