Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Christopher Wray has admitted that the scale of Chinese espionage in the United States “blew [him] away,” citing the communist regime as the largest “threat to our ideas, innovation, and economic security.”
The news will serve to vindicate “China hawks” who have been warning about Beijing’s malign influence in the West for years, all the while pilloried as “conspiracy theorists” by the corporate media.
Wray – who has served as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director since 2017 – revealed the agency opens a new China-related counter-intelligence case every 12 hours, with over 2,000 such investigations underway.
“This one blew me away. And I’m not the kind of guy that uses words like ‘blown away’ easily,” he remarked.
“There is no country that presents a broader, more severe threat to our innovation, our ideas, and our economic security than China does,” Wray added during the NBC interview. “The scale of their hacking program, and the amount of personal and corporate data that their hackers have stolen, is greater than every other country combined.”
The interview follows high-profile cases of Chinese Communist Party spies targeting American politicians and the Department of Justice under the Trump administration launching the “China Initiative,” which sought to combat this infiltration. The Biden White House has signaled it may terminate the program, dropping one of its most infamous indictments against Massachusetts Institute of Technology Professor Gang Chen.
“China may be the first country to combine that kind of authoritarian ambition with cutting-edge technical capability. It’s like the surveillance nightmare of East Germany combined with the tech of Silicon Valley,” Wray said. Many American social media companies – including Twitter and Facebook – have cozied up to the Chinese Communist Party in recent years, sending executives to conferences in China hosted by foreign influence groups and placing party-linked individuals into advisory roles.
“Fact-checkers” hired by these platforms also received funding from Chinese Communist Party-linked companies.
“There’s just no other country that presents a broader threat to our ideas, innovation, and economic security than China,” he reiterated.

Which is why they raided Roger Stone’s home at 6AM with a SWAT team and CNN in tow, and spent their time fabricating lies about Trump.
The Trump who reversed China’s economic warfare against us.
Some might even suggest a word for their actions.
Christopher Wray’s been too busy going after freedom loving Americans to notice what China’s been up but now its official policy to criticize the Chinese Communist Party even George Soros has joined the chorus.
Ppff fftttttt
Chris Wray is just trying to get a bigger budget at this point. If he went after Hunter Biden the Chinese would know he might be serious.
I am so sad for the USA.
For whatever reason the FBI is arresting Chinese spies, you can bet it’s political. The FBI, IMHO, is not interested in doing anything for the good of the country.
and yet, they can’t seem to find a congressional driver working for the CCP right under their noses...
I should be the FBI Director because I knew this ChiCom infiltration was going on since I before watched the first ChiCom navy vessel sailed under the Golden Gate Bridge 25 years ago. I was Having dinner at the restaurant Empress of China in San Francisco’s Chinatown and from the dining room I saw the Chinese destroyer sail under the Golden Gate bridge and I told my wife that that was signs of big trouble.
Wray is either an lying ass or he is as stupid as a bag of hammers. Either way it means that Christopher Wray needs to be fired.
It is probably just the FBI shaking down the ChiComs for a little extra payola to look the other way.
This blew the fib away, China has been doing this spying sense Clinton was pres.
Fay Wray. Another culmination of the Peter Principle.
why is fbi even involved in foreign affairs?
One of the FBI’s missions is to protect the U.S. against foreign intelligence and espionage.
How could Wray not see this coming. Went to a graduation a few years ago at FSU and the majority of grads getting advanced degrees were foreign and most of them were from China. The Chinese are in large numbers in our schools, research centers, corporations and now even buying farmland. Wray could be in a remake of “Casablanca” as Captain Louis Renault - “I’m shocked, shocked that the Chinese are spying on us.”
But not willing to investigate Hunter’s laptop?
“There’s just no other country that presents a broader threat to our ideas, innovation, and economic security than China,” he reiterated.
“I am so sad for the USA”.
Thank you, sir/ma’am.
It is not your father’s FIB; it is the one that tried to depose the greatest POTUS and thereby committed treason. It is the one that swore allegiance to Hellary.
He should know. He’s on their payroll. Hang this traitor.
Wray’s CHICOM handler will be mad at him for saying all this stuff...
The chinese people I know are like insects. I had to rub elbows with them in college. I really think they may not be human.
