China has spies all over the U.S,. and in most tech companies. Our Intel has nothing by comparison in China
In a race to revive espionage capabilities compromised in China a decade ago, the U.S. intelligence community is facing significant challenges, according to The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), citing insights from multiple current and former U.S. intelligence officials. The setback occurred when a suspected bug in covert communications technology exposed nearly two dozen CIA spies, including former high-ranking Chinese Communist Party officials, leading to their swift purge by the increasingly hostile government in Beijing.

The aftermath of this devastating compromise left the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) struggling to reestablish its intelligence network in Beijing, hindering its ability to gather crucial information about China’s leadership plans and intentions. A former senior intelligence official, who recently had access to classified reporting, expressed concern to the WSJ, stating, “We have no real insight into leadership plans and intentions in China at all.”
The compromise was described as “horrendous” by a former senior U.S. official, who also expressed doubts about the extent of the recovery efforts in the years that followed.

In response to the growing challenges posed by China, the U.S. intelligence community is realigning its focus in Asia. The move is part of a broader effort by American political, military, and economic leadership to maintain an advantage in great power competition. Despite ongoing counterinsurgency and counter-terrorism operations in the Middle East, a significant shift is underway. Continued below the video

CIA Director William Burns emphasized the importance of prioritizing the China mission, stating, “We are approaching the PRC as a global priority, more than doubling the budget resources devoted to the China mission over the past three years.” He highlighted the establishment of the China Mission Center as the CIA’s sole single-country mission center to coordinate efforts related to China.
Acknowledging the strategic long-term challenge posed by China, Burns revealed, “Even as we are balancing multiple priorities including ongoing conflicts, we remain intensely engaged on the strategic long-term challenge posed by the PRC.”

The report also revealed that Burns had taken a secret, previously unreported trip to South Korea and Japan, underscoring the gravity of the situation.
To address the intelligence gap, the CIA is actively recruiting analysts and case officers with expertise in Mandarin, emerging technology, and collaboration with the private sector. Former officials mentioned that, despite the setback, the CIA has been continuously building and maintaining intelligence operations in China, with a renewed emphasis on the China mission.
However, gaining insight into the inner workings of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and President Xi Jinping’s intentions remains a significant challenge. The loss of agents between 2010 and 2012 hampered the intelligence community’s ability to understand and predict Xi’s leadership style. Despite CIA reports predicting a more nationalistic and security-minded leader, the Obama administration allegedly failed to fully appreciate the consequences.

Xi’s subsequent development of a massive surveillance state has further complicated human spying operations. The primary source of U.S. intelligence now relies on satellite imagery to track Chinese military deployments, cyber tools for electronic communications, and analysis of Xi’s public statements to discern his plans.
To Sum It All Up: the U.S. intelligence community faces an uphill battle in rebuilding its capabilities in China, with the decade-old compromise casting a long shadow. The renewed focus on the China mission underscores the evolving dynamics of great power competition and the critical need for effective intelligence gathering in the face of formidable challenges.
Major Points Discussed:
- A decade ago, a suspected bug in covert communications technology led to the compromise of nearly two dozen CIA spies in China, including former high-ranking Chinese Communist Party officials.
- The devastating compromise left the U.S. intelligence community struggling to reestablish its intelligence network in Beijing, resulting in a significant gap in insights into Chinese leadership plans and intentions.
- Despite ongoing counterinsurgency and counter-terrorism operations in the Middle East, there is a notable shift in the U.S. intelligence community’s focus towards China in the context of great power competition.
- CIA Director William Burns highlights the increasing importance of the China mission, with a substantial increase in budget resources and the establishment of the China Mission Center to coordinate efforts related to China.
- Challenges persist in gaining insight into the inner workings of the Chinese Communist Party and President Xi Jinping’s intentions, with the loss of agents between 2010 and 2012 and the subsequent development of a massive surveillance state by Xi. The primary sources of U.S. intelligence now include satellite imagery, cyber tools, and analysis of public statements by Xi.
