China is luring its citizens to become whistleblowers, as authorities in Beijing, are offering a flat $72,460 to anyone who provides useful information on spies.
Informants can pass information to authorities through calling a hotline, sending letters or visiting the city’s state security bureau.
After collating the information, the bureau can offer rewards ranging from 10,000 yuan to 500,000 yuan based on the reports’ usefulness.
The policy, which becomes effective today April 10, will see to it that personal information of informants will not be disclosed without their consent, and informants can also seek protection from security authorities if they or their close relatives are in danger due to informing.
However, informants will be punished if they deliberately slander others, or invent and spread false information.
