CHINA-US: FBI OFFICES PROBING CHINESE ESPIONAGE CASES
|
FBI Director Christopher Wray told Congress on January 30, that FBI is investigating Chinese economic espionage in nearly all of its 56 field offices around the country. He said “The number of those has probably doubled over the last three or four years, and not all of them, but almost all of them lead back to China.” Defense Intelligence Agency Director Lieutenant General Robert Ashley said at the hearing that the Beijing leadership and Chinese Communist party have made it hard for Chinese businessmen to be pure businessmen and avoid suspicion. “Huawei need to make a decision about the direction that they want to take with regards to how they support the Chinese government or as an independent business,” he said. “The challenge… is that decision does not lie with Huawei. It lies with the CCP, it lies with Xi Jinping.”
