China is seeking to become the world’s only superpower by usurping the United States with a government-directed “campaign of theft and malign influence”, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) director said on Tuesday.

In a wide-ranging attack on Beijing’s behaviour on the world stage delivered at the conservative think tank Hudson Institute, Christopher Wray said that the counter-intelligence and economic espionage threat from China represented the “greatest long-term threat to our nation’s information and intellectual property, and to our economic vitality”.

China’s “generational fight” to usurp the US was playing out in fields ranging from local politics to industries including aviation, agriculture, robotics and health care, said Wray, accusing Beijing of working to compromise American institutions conducting “essential” Covid-19 research.

The man is wrong, big time....... The greatest threat to america are Americans in California, Oregon, Washington, New York, and increasingly, Virginia.

Democrats are actually actively and purposely destroying America and cannot be stopped short of killing them off.

Is Christoper Wray really Captain Obvious in disguise? I really don’t like that guy for a host of reasons. His last day @ FBI should be 3 Nov 2020.

Attentive observers have known this for at least twenty years, unfortunately that excludes most of the so-called “intelligence community” for all that time.

I’m surprised Director Wray could acknowledge any fault at all with CCP China, his observation skills aren’t too developed

Must be playing some kind of good cop bad cop game for the election Later this year, hes also a deep state hack voting for Biden in November

No, The FBI is not the enemy. Left wing take over of the FBI was accomplished as was various Protestant churches, The Audubon society, the NEA, and virtually all formerly American institutions.

For instance, all black institutions are Anti American having been completely taken over by the leftists.
