On Wednesday, FBI Director Christopher Wray said China, not Russia is the “most significant” long-term threat facing the US today.
Wray sat down for an interview with NBC’s Lester Holt at the Aspen Security Forum Wednesday to discuss many different spy threats facing the US.
The Democrat-media complex is obsessed with Russia, however; Wray clearly states the FBI has economic espionage cases open in all 50 states that trace back to China.
“It covers everything from corn seeds in Iowa to wind turbines in Massachusetts and everything in between,” Wray said of China’s espionage efforts.
Of course Lester Holt wanted to desperately bring the conversation back to Russia and brought up election meddling again.
Christopher Wray did acknowledge Russia’s efforts to influence the public opinion and politics in the US, however he said not to underestimate China’s ultimate goal which is to “position itself as the sole dominant super power. They’re trying to replace the United States in that role.”
“I think China from a counterintelligence perspective represents in many ways represents the broadest, most challenging, most significant threat we face as a country,” Wray said.
He said that China’s espionage efforts are “a whole of state effort” that includes “economic espionage as well as traditional espionage and human sources as well as cyber means.”
“The volume of it, the pervasive of it, the significance of it, is something that I think this country cannot underestimate,” Wray continued.
The main reason why we have never seen actual evidence of Russians hacking into Democrat computer networks is because the reports would also reveal China to be one of the aggressors. The fact that China is spying with such aggressive techniques obliterates the entire Russian hacking narrative spun by Dems and their media sycophants.
No the progressive deep state is the biggest threat to America. Chinese espionage is a distant second.
No, it’s not.
It’s the Deep State and our two pitiful ass political parties.
Chinese spying & stealing goes way beyond everyone else, it’s an all-out fully-state-supported-and-organized machine.
Notice all those foreign Chinese students at every major university?
That’s where it starts.
(BTW, same thing is happening in Canada and Europe)
No, Trump is. And his merry band of deplorables.
The Chinese are at least as undemocratic as the Russians — mandating abortions as a way of life in China— but the Democrats and RINOS have no trouble trusting the Chinese.
Yes, I think that’s about right.
He’s right about the Chinese, which is why we need to destroy them if we can. Russia is not our friend either. If we can significantly harm the Chinese, Russian, and Iranian regimes, the world will be a MUCH safer place.
Well, when you leave a server with top secret info on it unsecured you’re bound to have problems. I wonder how much Hill & Bill were paid by the Chinese.
We must triangulate when feasible, e.g. convince Russia that it's in its best interest to support the Iranian people (NOT the ayatollahs, who are a threat to regional stability and should be overthrown).
Wray ought to wake Jeff Sessions from his nap so he can share this information with his boss, Rod Rosenstein
