Up to 20 CIA informants were killed or imprisoned by the Chinese government between 2010 and 2012, the New York Times reports, damaging US information-gathering in the country for years.
It is not clear whether the CIA was hacked or whether a mole helped the Chinese to identify the agents, officials told the paper.
They said one of the informants was shot in the courtyard of a government building as a warning to others.
The CIA did not comment on the report.
Four former CIA officials spoke to the paper, telling it that information from sources deep inside the Chinese government bureaucracy started to dry up in 2010. Informants began to disappear in early 2011.
The CIA and FBI teamed up to investigate the events in an operation one source said was codenamed Honey Badger.
The paper said this investigation had centred on one former CIA operative but there was not enough evidence to arrest him. He now lives in another Asian country.
In 2012, an official at China's security ministry was arrested on suspicion of spying for the US. He was said to have been lured into the CIA. No other such arrests appear to have reached public attention during that time. Obama questioned slow intelligence
Matt Apuzzo, a New York Times journalist who worked on the story, told the BBC: "One of the really troubling things about this is that we still don't know what happened.
"There's a divide within the American government over whether there was a mole inside the CIA or whether this was a tradecraft problem, that the CIA agents got sloppy and got discovered, or whether the Chinese managed to hack communications."

BINGO truth expose
No; Hillary Clinton’s unsecured network was hacked.
WHAT IF EVERY CHINESE NATIONAL IN THE USA WHO IS NOT A US CITIZEN WAS EXPELLED AS A NATIONAL SECURITY RISK?
Why would you do that???
America closes immigration door to 91.9 million communists in ChinaWhy not all Chinese? Anyone of them, regardless of their better intentions is subject to ummm, pressure, applied by the threat of or actual overt harm to their family members back in the old country.

Check out article AND comments.
Thanks, TigerClaws.
It was the Clintons that initially sold us out to the Communist Chinese.
“Should have a near death experience, you’ll probably care even less...”
I did. Brain tumor removed. !st week of January 2018. In & Out (Not the Ghislaine burger place) of the hospital until the end of March with complications. Clots, seizures, brain bleed, etc. I’ll leave it at that. WHEW have I got some TRUE stories about that experience!
This is the news that steams my clams:
Warner is giving three co-founders of BLM some kind of contract for making documentaries...
THREE CO-FOUNDERS OF THE RIOTING, LOOTING, BLASTING BLACK LIVES MATTER...
What can we guess the viewership of ANYTHING FROM THOSE THREE would be. I hope it FLOPS before it even hits our viewing eyes in promotion ads.
And all this is why you CANNOT COMPARE this Hunter activity with what happened to President Trump.
With Trump...it was A LIE
With Biden...it is the TRUTH.
So don’t give us that MORAL EQUIVILENCE CRAP.
I’m fixin’ to start an NDE/OOBE ping list.
Would you be interested in joining?
Where did I do that?
OMG, I didn’t mean YOU were doing that.
It was a general comment about the media.
If you took it as personal, I apologize.
Sure. Thanks.
The CCP have taken MARXIST TOTALITARIAN CONTROL to new depths...the likes of which NOBODY on this planet has ever seen before. Kai-Fu Lee at the edge..
(once again I couldn’t access Lee in the dropdown menu... never had any problem B4)
Anyway he boasts about the Chinese “data collectors”...says they are waaaay ahead of Americans. I dunno. That’s what’s going on here in Uncle Samville right now. Kai-Fu calls the collectors “CHINESE GLADIATORS”. LET THAT SINK IN.
No problem! “You” is one of the linguistic traps of the English language.
I just wanted to make sure I hadn’t inadvertently given the impression that I was the one making that comparison m’self.
Kewl! The list is now twice as long!
I know you from your posts, null, I would never think you could do anything not classy.
I do try to stay classy, sometimes at the end of the day my tongue is sore and swollen from all that biting...
