History
According to the CIA, the State Security Bulletin emerged from the belief by early leaders of the then-new MSS that "a public intelligence history and associated discussion of intelligence and security issues would help raise awareness of espionage and subversion threats to the PRC and provide a sympathetic operational environment for those professionally responsible for countering them."[1] The journal is open to submissions by any Chinese citizen with academic credentials, but it requires prospective authors to specify their ethnicity if anything other than Han Chinese.[5]
