The Tianjin State Security Bureau (Chinese: 天津市国家安全局; pinyin: Tiānjīn Shì Guójiā Ānquán Jú; TSSB) is a bureau of the Chinese Ministry of State Security in Tianjin which serves as the direct-administered municipality's intelligence service and secret police. Established in December 1983 from parts of the Tianjin public security bureau and Tianjin Investigation Department, the bureau engages in global espionage operations far beyond the confines of the city, with an emphasis on operations against Japan and cyberespionage capabilities.[1][2]: 118 In an indictment, the United States government has accused the bureau of being behind the advanced persistent threat (APT) known as Red Apollo (APT10).
The TSSB is headquartered at 85 Zhujiang Road (珠江道) in the Mejiang Subdistrict of Hexi District, directly adjacent to the offices of Tianjin Television And Radio Station.[3]
