# The Global Intelligence Files

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

EU foreign policy chief thanks China for support in buying bonds
http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/05/13/china-eu-bonds-idUSL3E7GD0B320110513
BEIJING May 13 (Reuters) - The European Union's foreign policy chief
thanked China for shoring up investor confidence in the bloc by continuing
to buy European sovereign bonds, state media reported on Friday, ahead of
next week's talks between China and the EU.
After investing billions of euros in Portuguese and Greek bonds to
diversity its "huge" foreign exchange reserves away from the dollar, China
has said it is considering buying more, in a move to help stabilise the
bloc's fragile finances and protect its business interests.
"The EU gratefully acknowledges continued Chinese involvement in European
sovereign bond markets during the recent and quite turbulent period,"
Catherine Ashton said in Hungary, in an interview with the
English-language China Daily.
"Investor confidence is a key condition for macro policy and reforms to
succeed in any circumstances and certainly now."
Ashton was in Hungary, current holder of the EU's rotating presidency, on
Thursday for talks with China's State Councilor Dai Bingguo.
The European Council President Herman van Rompuy visits China on a
four-day visit starting on Sunday for talks to boost economic and trade
ties.
The article also cited Ashton as saying that China's "calmness and
objectivity had been helpful in avoiding undue and unfounded turbulence
and speculation regarding some countries in the eurozone."
"This has been important in helping to underpin confidence and stabilise
markets," she said.
Support from China to buy Spanish and Portuguese bonds has been crucial in
helping to shore up debt markets in the euro zone periphery as well as the
single currency.
China is keen to diversify its currency reserves -- which rose in the
first quarter to $3.05 trillion -- with the euro the primary alternative
to the dollar, which accounts for around two thirds of its holdings.

Buying European debt and flagging an intention to do so can also help
Chinese manufacturers by driving up the value of the euro, making Chinese
products cheaper to buy.
China was also in talks to invest in Spain, including in the
reorganisation of troubled Spanish savings banks, the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs said in April. [ID:nL3E7FL1L9]
