I wonder if the discussions included anything about Covid-19?
Trust, but verify. There is a reason Kash flew to Beijing last week. As far as I know this is unprecedented, that an FBI director involved with foreign law enforcement. People’s Daily also published an article last week decrying the use of precursors to manufacture drugs. Seems like Trump is making sure the promises the CCP is making on this is being followed through.
Maybe, it is high level. The FBI isn't banned from foreign activity like the CIA domestically. In fact it routinely investigates violations of the law, violations of US law can occur outside our borders, but almost always(?) in cooperation with local authorities. FBI director, that is pretty high level, but I think it's a high level problem, and the director is by his position involved with any investigations.
