China is suspected of spying on Americans’ cell phones through Caribbean mobile networks, according to UK-based media The Guardian.

The article cites Gary Miller, a Washington state-based former mobile network security executive. Miller says these attacks seem to enable China to target, track, and intercept phone communications from U.S. phone users traveling abroad.

China is building, what it calls the “Southern Great Wall,” along the 1,200-mile border with its Southern neighbor Myanmar.

China’s media says the fence is to stop illegal crossings and control CCP virus outbreaks. Radio Free Asia said it could also prevent Chinese dissidents from fleeing the country.

Earlier this year, China started to build a barbed-wire wall at its border with Vietnam, with the same reason of limiting border interaction to control CCP virus outbreaks.

From another perspective, with more factories moving from China to Vietnam, more Chinese people are moving to Vietnam for work. This is also considered to be a reason for building the wall.
