On the eve of National Security Education Day, which was celebrated across China on April 15, Chinese Government released a special 16-page comic across several of its government-owned bulletins.

Targeted specifically at Chinese women employed in important government offices, the 16-page comic warns them against dating good looking foreigners as they may turn out to be spies from enemy countries.

The comic is titled as "dangerous love" and has a young civil servant, named as Xiao Li or Little Li, as leading protagonist. In one of the dinner parties Li meets David, a handsome foreigner who introduces himself as a visiting scholar.

Unaware that David is actually a spy, Li starts off relationship with David as she is too overwhelmed with his good looks and charm. David soon convinces Li to submit several sensitive documents from her office on the pretext of his personal research.

Li diligently abides David's request only to be later arrested by Chinese authorities. In the end, Li is shown handcuffed and crying in front two Chinese policemen. Clearly repenting her act.   

"You show a very shallow understanding of secrecy for a State employee. You are suspected of violating our nation's law," Li is told by a policeman.

The 16 page comic is widely seen as a part of ongoing "anti spy campaign" launched by Chinese government. China has been going very tough on foreign spies under President Xi Jinping. Dozens of foreign spies have been arrested and sentenced since Xi took over the office.
