FBI opening new China investigations every 10 hours, Director Wray tells Congress

AMN: FBI Director Christopher Wray told Congress Thursday that his agency is opening up a new investigation of Chinese-linked threats “every 10 hours.”

Wray told the House Homeland Security Committee that the FBI has more than 2,000 counterintelligence investigations on China, which he said forms “by far the biggest chunk of our counterintelligence portfolio.” Wray said, “We are opening a new Chinese counterintelligence investigation about every 10 hours.”

“The scope and scale of this threat is really breathtaking,” Wray added.

The FBI director said that China’s theft of U.S. research and intellectual property has a perverse effect, because much of it is taxpayer-funded, and China’s extensive efforts to steal the information could be seen as advancing China on the U.S. taxpayer’s dime.

  1. What happened to the Russian threat???? Oh, they’re switching horses now, its the Chinese that Trump has conspired with. Better check with Steele to see what’s he’s got for them to work with on this.

  2. Are they trying to appease the President or is this real? Because if it’s real, 100’s of big shits must hit the fan. And if we don’t see that, it’s business-as-usual, phony, Deep State, FBI crap.

  3. A friend worked in an R&D lab in N.C. for 30 years after we were in the Navy. He told me they had interest from several countries in their work, and would give tours of their labs. With all the critical gauges, meters, and unique hardware covered.

    The Brits, Germans, Italians, Japanese were all fine. But the Chinese had to be taken through in smaller groups and watched closely or a few of them would try to distract the lab guide while another Chinese person would sneak, lift a cover and take pictures of what the lab was trying to keep secret. The Chinese are smart people, but were still driven to try to cheat.
