ELS VAN HOOF
In the context of a lawsuit against seven Chinese, an FBI report has resurfaced, establishing that Chinese spies penetrated the Belgian MP's laptop via an e-mail. The impact of the hack has yet to be assessed.
The accused are not only suspected of spying on Americans, but also on members of an international association dedicated to human rights in China, IPAC (Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China), which is therefore in Beijing's sights.
Mrs. Van Hoof, like the vice-chairman of her committee Samuel Cogolati (Ecolo), who has already lodged a complaint against Chinese intelligence, is a member of IPAC. They have both opened e-mails sent by hackers. The impact of this cyberattack has not yet been determined.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hadja Lahbib, announced on Thursday on X (ex-Twitter) that she would summon the Chinese chargé d'affaires in Belgium.
