• China's State Security Ministry reported that two military personnel were tasked with shredding 200 secret military documents, but instead sold them to a recycling plant for less than $4 total.-

• A retiree named "Grandpa Zhang" then purchased 4 volumes of these confidential documents from the recycling plant for only 85 cents.- Realizing the documents were marked "confidential" and "secret", Zhang reported them to authorities. The State Security Ministry then seized the documents.-

• The ministry criticized the military personnel involved for their "weak sense of confidentiality" and "greed for convenience's sake", but said the incident did not result in a significant intelligence leak.-

• The ministry used this incident as part of a push to encourage the public to report national security lapses through a hotline

I don't usually care about news from China, but I did find a bit of humor in this
