MANILA -- The Philippines has made a flurry of arrests of Chinese nationals on suspicion of spy activity this year, with officials concerned that Beijing is working to collect government and military information amid tensions in the South China Sea.
On Feb. 25, the Philippine National Bureau of Investigation announced the arrest of two Chinese nationals on suspicion of illegally collecting information around sensitive facilities. The bureau alleged that three Filipinos were paid to drive a car equipped with a device that could intercept radio signals within a radius of 1 to 3 kilometers.
