CIA Releases Mandarin Videos to Recruit Disillusioned Chinese Officials
- The CIA released two Chinese-language videos on Thursday aimed at recruiting Chinese officials to leak secrets to the United States.
- This public effort follows a similar recruitment drive launched in October targeting China, Iran, and North Korea amid intensified U.S.-China intelligence competition.
- The videos portray fictional disillusioned Chinese Communist Party officials and government workers who contact the CIA, suggesting vulnerabilities amid Xi Jinping's anti-corruption purge.
- A CIA official expressed confidence to Reuters that the videos are effective in reaching their target audience in China, which is why the agency continues to produce more content despite the country's strict internet censorship.
- The campaign implies a sustained U.S. focus on human intelligence in China, highlighting Beijing as a top strategic and military rival with ongoing broader geopolitical implications.
