In a WeChat post, the Chinese Ministry of State Security Wednesday said Zhang had access to "a large number of state secrets," which he leaked using a USB drive. The ministry dubbed the former state employee "weak in character" and unable to "resist the temptation of money."

The ministry also said that foreign agencies, which it did not identify, had recruited Zhang after he had left his official position. In September, it had reportedly warned students with access to sensitive information of “handsome men” or “beautiful women” trying to lure them.
