The CIA on Thursday confirmed it has established a new ‘mission center’ focused on China after a major review that had been ordered earlier in the year by CIA Director Bill Burns.
A new statement issued by Director Burns said the new China Mission Center “will further strengthen our collective work on the most important geopolitical threat we face in the 21st century, an increasingly adversarial Chinese government.”
It comes amid criticisms that China is ultimately “out-spying” the United States, also amid tit-for-tat cyber intrusion accusations which have gone on for years. A separate report out this week in The New York Times also indicates US intelligence officials are increasingly worried that China is among a handful of nations increasingly arresting, executing, or oftentimes compromising US agents abroad.
Since when does the CIA telegraph a single thing it does ?
