The partnerships cover fentanyl, cyber fraud and child exploitation, with FBI officials saying 300 people were arrested in one Dubai raid.
- FBI Director Kash Patel announced new law enforcement partnerships with China and Russia on Wednesday to combat transnational crime, including fentanyl trafficking, cyber fraud, and child sexual exploitation.

- Patel cited 'Operation Sand Dollar,' a May raid in Dubai that resulted in 300 arrests and $300 million seized, while defending the initiative as an 'apolitical mission' focused on specific crimes.
- Former FBI supervisory agent Jeff Crocker warned that Chinese officials' access to American facilities creates vulnerabilities, stating 'So this is great cover for them' regarding potential infiltration by foreign agents.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio called the initiative 'a work in progress,' noting progress but gaps remain, while Patel plans an October trip to Russia to deepen cooperation.
