If you haven’t had a chance to read the most recent article from WireScreen please find the time. Incredibly in depth and investigative. So often I click and get nothing but fooled. Harpoon Ventures is proud to support an organization seeking truth and mapping business intelligence for the global economic community.

If you haven’t seen it yet, be sure to read this explosive joint investigation by The Wire China and The New York Times to see just how much can be hidden inside today’s most complex corporate relationships. https://lnkd.in/e6WagrVJ We don’t know what the consequences of this story, or the relationships revealed within, will be yet. But it’s safe to say this is not how any corporation wants to learn about potentially dangerous, high-risk connections and dependencies they’ve developed. That being said, is the traditional definition of “due diligence” enough to find these kinds of risky relationships? And in a regulatory environment where the onus is increasingly on corporations to understand their relationships beyond direct investors, partners, and sellers, what steps do multinationals need to start taking?

We’re incredibly proud of the role the WireScreen platform played in this joint investigation by The Wire China and The New York Times. It’s a gripping, real-world example of how WireScreen’s technology and expertise is necessary to truly understand the most complex – and often impactful – business relationships in China. This story came to light thanks to the tireless work of talented reporters equipped with WireScreen, the same technology increasingly used by regulators, law enforcement, and investors to better understand the complex world of #corporateintelligence in China. The New York Times could have gone anywhere to try and unravel this mystery, and we’re thrilled they chose to come to us.

We are excited to release this special edition of The Wire China. For more than a year, our staff writers, Katrina Northrop and Eliot C., have been working with Mike Forsythe at The New York Times to look into leaked documents from Xiao Jianhua’s Tomorrow Group. What they found was Xiao’s repeated and obscured entanglements with Jack Ma’s empire. In other words: China’s most celebrated billionaire and its most notorious billionaire were secretly involved on business deals worth at least $1 billion. To round out this special edition, the rest of our magazine this week is devoted to some of the questions or thoughts you may have after reading the investigation: a timeline from Aaron Mc Nicholas of Jack Ma’s whereabouts since his infamous 2020 speech; Andrew Peaple's interview with Victor Shih on the fallout from Xi Jinping’s tech sector crackdown; a great video about how the investigation was done as well as more background information on Xiao’s empire; and an op-ed from Graham Webster on China’s tech turnaround.

In an unprecedented move, seven U.S. allies issue a joint advisory warning about a Chinese state-sponsored hacking group, APT40. This group, linked to China's Ministry of State Security, poses a significant threat to global networks through sophisticated cyber operations. This coordinated warning marks the first public attribution of cyberattacks to China by multiple nations, signaling increasing international concern over Beijing's cyber activities. The advisory follows heightened sanctions and public criticisms by the U.S. and its allies against escalating cyber threats from China. WireScreen's unparalleled access to Chinese data allows us to monitor APT40 and similar state-sponsored entities. Our comprehensive insights offer national security teams the information they need to stay ahead of emerging threats and safeguard critical infrastructure effectively. #Cybersecurity #China
