China has launched a campaign to warn people of the dangers of trusting handsome foreigners who might have secret agendas.
Titled Dangerous Love, the posters, issued to mark the first ever National Security Education Day, tell the story of a young Chinese civil servant, called Little Li, who meets a red-headed man at a dinner party.
As "David" woos her with compliments, flowers and romantic walks in the park, Li fails to realise he is a foreign spy.
The cartoons depict a scenario where Li gives David secret internal documents from her government office before they are both arrested.
In the final image, Li is shown sitting handcuffed before two policemen who tell her she has a "shallow understanding of secrecy for a state employee".
China's state secrets law is notoriously broad, covering everything from industry data to the exact birth dates of state leaders.
Information can also be labelled a state secret retroactively.
President Xi Jinping has overseen a sweeping revamp of the security apparatus, aimed at combating threats both at home and abroad.
But new security laws he has passed, or wants to pass, have alarmed Western governments, including the counterterrorism law and a draft cyber security law, amid a renewed crackdown on dissent.
