A report issued by China's National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center and a China-based internet-security company named 360 detailed evidence of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) being behind a great number of "color revolutions" aimed at the post-Soviet space and other regions of the globe.

"For many years, the CIA has been secretly organizing "peaceful change" and "color revolutions", as well as carrying out espionage activities and stealing information," as per the report. 

Among the many revolutions in which the CIA played a role are the Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia in 1989, the Rose Revolution in Georgia in 2003, the Orange Revolution in Ukraine from 2004-2005, the Tulip Revolution in Kyrgyzstan in 2005, the "Arab Spring" of 2010s, Ukrainian Euromaidan from 2013-2014, and Sunflower Movement in Taiwan in 2014 - all of which are internationally recognized as "color revolutions", the report stated.

It also revealed that the US attempted to stage "color revolutions" in Belarus, Azerbaijan, Lebanon, Myanmar, Iran, and other states.

"According to statistics, over the past few decades, the CIA has overthrown or attempted to overthrow legitimate governments in more than 50 countries, causing unrest," the report read.

On another note, the report stated that China-based company 360 exposed the US in its hacking operations by identifying a hacking organization named APT or APT-C-39, which was used to carry out cyberattacks in many countries. 

It said the hacking tools were similar to those that were exposed by Wikileaks in the Vault 7 papers in 2017. 

"Qihoo 360 analyzed the leaked material of Vault 7 and associated with the team’s researches, it discovered a series of targeted attacks against China's aviation industry, scientific research institutions, petroleum industry, large Internet companies and government agencies. These eleven-year attacks can be traced back to 2008 (spanning from September 2008 to June 2019), and are mainly distributed in provinces such as Beijing, Guangdong, and Zhejiang. The above-mentioned targeted attacks are all attributed to a U.S.-related APT organization - APT-C-39 (according to Qihoo 360’s code-naming system)," the company said in a blog post. 

The hacking operations date back as far as 2011 and were orchestrated in various countries. The attacks are still ongoing to this day, the report noted.
