China: MI5 and FBI heads warn of ‘immense’ threat
BBC ^ | 6 Jul, 2022 | Gordon Corera

Posted on 07/06/2022 3:21:45 PM PDT by anthropocene_x

The heads of UK and US security services have made an unprecedented joint appearance to warn of the threat from China.

FBI director Christopher Wray said China was the "biggest long-term threat to our economic and national security" and had interfered in politics, including recent elections. MI5 head Ken McCallum said his service had more than doubled its work against Chinese activity in the last three years and would be doubling it again. MI5 is now running seven times as many investigations related to activities of the Chinese Communist Party compared to 2018, he added.

He also said China deployed cyber espionage to "cheat and steal on a massive scale", with a hacking programme larger than that of every other major country combined. McCallum also pointed to a series of examples linked to China. These included a British aviation expert who had received an approach online and had been offered an attractive employment opportunity. He travelled to China twice to be "wined and dined" before being asked for technical information on military aircraft by a company which was actually a front for Chinese intelligence officers.

Any of our politicians that promotes trade pacts or any kind of relation at all with China, should be investigated.

Any of our high-level deep-staters in CIA or Pentagon that are not focused on China should have an audit of how they are spending their time and what they are working on.

Russia, Iran, Iraq etc.....are all boondoggles.

They are just now figuring this out?

They need to spend more time lurking on FR. We’ve known this for a very long time.

Oh.
Based on the title, I thought that China was warning us about the immense threat from the FBI. In which case I'd have had to agree with the PRC on something.
Yup, we all know the PRC is a threat, but the FBI is also an enemy of America.

Really? Did they just notice that? They must want a larger payoff from the CCP to keep their mouths shut.

Where were these geniuses when it came to investigating the flatulent Chi-spy-lover, Eric Swallow-well, or the highly demented Chi-spy-employer Diane Feinstein?

Heck, the FIBs could spend a lot of time in California huntng down Ch-Spy connections to Federal, State, and Local politicians who have benefited from the Chi-Comms.

While they're at it, look at The Turdle's family businesses tied to the Chi-Comms.

Wray warned about China taking Taiwan causing “one of the most horrific business disruptions the world has ever seen”.

Does Wray do more than insurrections?

Why is the FIB tolerating the CCP buying land adjacent to multiple US miltary installations in the CONUS?

Wonder if Elon Musk realizes that any proprietary information he took into China to manufacture his EVs are now in the hands of the Chinese. Tesla will never take a dime of profit out of China.

Glad they finally realized what we’ve known for a long time now. Communist China is not and never will be our friend.

So why didn’t the FBI do something about the Chinese threat all these years instead of harassing and try to destroy President Trump, his cabinet members, attorneys, and supporters?

Yes, I’m talking to YOU, Christopher Wray, and your January 6th instigators, too.

Huh? I thought it was “far right extremists” and “white nationalists”? You mean the CCP is a bigger threat??? No way!
