Jiangnan Social University is school of intelligence tradecraft operated by the Ministry of State Security (MSS) of the People's Republic of China. Sometimes called Institute of Cadre Management Suzhou by Western observers, the school was intended to be an annex of the University of International Relations, but instead has become an MSS training facility.[1] It is located adjacent to Yinshan Lake in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, an hour's drive from Shanghai.[2]

Academics

The university is located in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, and was established in 1984 or 1986[3] with around 600 students and staff.

Originally intended to be an annex of the University of International Relations in Beijing, the school instead reportedly teaches courses in intelligence tradecraft, such as firearms, martial arts, driving, communications, and surveillance skills to MSS cadres in courses lasting up to a year.[4] More recently, Alex Joske's 2022 book, Spies and Lies, describes the compound as an older, mid-career MSS training institution with "none of the grandeur" of newer MSS facilities.
