The Chinese regime’s espionage operations around the world have been accelerating over the past decade and are now “off the scale,” an analyst warns.
His comment comes at a time when U.S. federal prosecutors announce a new China-related case almost every week.
In the past two months, a New York City police officer was arrested and accused of spying on the Tibetan community for the Chinese Consulate; five Chinese nationals were charged with allegedly hacking more than 100 companies and entities worldwide; a Chinese researcher at UCLA (University of California Los Angeles) was charged with destroying evidence (a hard drive) to hamper an investigation into whether he had transferred sensitive software to China; a NASA researcher was arrested and accused of hiding his funding from China; and a former CIA officer was arrested for allegedly spying for China for a decade.
Nicholas Eftimiades, a former senior U.S. intelligence official who has been analyzing Beijing’s spy activities for about three decades, detailed his findings in a 1994 book, “Chinese Intelligence Operations.”
“When I wrote the first book, it was noticeable and it was active. And it was mostly ignored by the United States and other Western countries,” Eftimiades told The Epoch Times.
“But now, it’s sort of off the scale,” he said, noting that a database he maintains on Chinese espionage cases reported worldwide currently lists more than 600 cases—most of them recorded in the past 10 years. The cases broadly span theft of trade secrets, illegal export of technologies critical to national security, cyberhacking, and traditional spying. The analyst recently published a monograph, the first in a series of three, as an update to his book.

City of Seattle is a enrolled in their spy network
Lots, and lots, and lots of ‘American’ asistance, as well.
Don’t get me started at the stupidity of my fellow Americans!
Why not?
That is why we have such a huge problem.
And it is, a huge problem.
EVERYTHING in every single Walmart in America, which is manufactured, is MADE IN CHINA.
(Well ok, not literally everything, but close enough to be true)
And it is not just Walmart.
It is everything, everywhere.
Everyone is sold out.
Movies. Drugs. Manufacturing. Education.
All of it.
I picked up a paid subscription to The Epoch Times this week.
Anti-Communist publishers need financial support.
I totally agree with you.
Chinese commies and Ds (but I repeat myself ) are in virtual live or die situations.
When Trump wins, the Chinese economy tanks..... and Democrats access to making laws is lost in the Supreme Court.
High stakes indeed
They have to be.
This is the domain of government trade policy.
Government trade policy used to say you can offshore your products to communist slave labor economies. If your competitors do it and you don’t, then you are out of business. So you offshore. If you want to stay in business, you do it.
It’s not millions of American’s fault. Don’t expect millions of Americans to self sacrifice for a losing cause. And it is a losing cause until it reflected in trade policy.
It’s is several presidential administration’s faults and Congresses fault.
Trump has been fighting it, but Trump has been walking a fine line. Nobody in the Republican party was talking trade policy when Trump ran. He’s kept it focused on China and on a few key industries.
But the CIA and FBI are more focused on important things like Orangemanbad!
