The US agency recently published a clip urging Chinese military officers to become informants.
China will take “all necessary measures” to fight infiltration and sabotage by foreign forces, the Foreign Ministry in Beijing has said, responding to a recent US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) recruitment ad targeting Chinese military personnel.
The spy agency’s Mandarin-language video, published on its YouTube account on Thursday, urged officers and troops to leak information on top Chinese leaders or regarding sensitive military or technological fields.
“China will take all necessary measures to resolutely combat infiltration and sabotage activities of foreign anti-China forces and resolutely safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian told journalists on Friday, when asked about the CIA video.
The ad came just weeks after Beijing launched an anti-graft probe into its highest-ranking general, Zhang Youxia.
Speaking to troops in Beijing on Tuesday, President Xi Jinping described the past year as “a revolutionary tempering” in the fight against corruption for the Chinese army. Beijing has dismissed multiple top officials and more than a dozen generals in the three years since Xi intensified efforts to crack down on top-level corruption in 2023.
Thursday’s video was the fifth Mandarin-language recruitment video the CIA has released since October 2024. In the early 2010s, Beijing reportedly dismantled much of the agency’s spy network in China, capturing or executing more than a dozen agents.
Beijing is a top level threat for the administration of President Donald Trump, according to CIA Director John Ratcliffe.
“No adversary in the history of our Nation has presented a more formidable challenge or a more capable strategic competitor,” he said in an internal memo cited by the media last April. In it, he argued that Beijing was working to “economically, militarily and technologically dominate the world” and “out-compete America in every corner of the globe.”
The two superpowers clashed in an on-and-off tariff war last year after Trump imposed massive levies on China, citing unfair trade imbalances. The conflict went dormant last October following a deal clinched by the US president and Xi at a summit in South Korea.
Trump is expected to meet the Chinese president again in Beijing in April.

That the US is sending Witkoff and Kushner as special envoys to negotiate a protracted peace deal with Iran signals the US has no intentions of finding any real peaceful solution like in the Ukraine conflict but is determined and resolute in its intentions to proceed with its predetermined path to war
Likely being one to two weeks away until other carrier groups arrive in the region to beef up military assets already in the area and theater of war
The Battle of Midway spelt the end of the battle ship and the projection of power through carrier based aircraft
Not instantly but Midway absolutely marked the moment when the battleship stopped being the centerpiece of naval power and the aircraft carrier took over for good
The Battle of Iran which from all indications will eventuate will spell the end of the projection of military power through carrier based assets to be superseded by the the advent of drone and missile technology

You don’t have to sink these carriers
All You have to do is render their flight decks inoperable
To the same effect as arriving back with nothing to land on
But no doubt these virgins will be penetrated
I’m not an apologist for the CCP, but honestly Trump’s statement that “No adversary in the history of our Nation has presented a more formidable challenge or a more capable strategic competitor” is absolute bull****.
What were Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia? Ping ping buddies? Idiot.
I think the issue is nothing ever came of the competition between the USSR and USA that was monumentally meaningful. The USSR was broke by the late 1980’s, if not sooner and collapsed of its own accord. The USA never fought Germany in a meaningful way until Hitler declared war on them after they went to war with Japan. Even then, it was the Soviets who finished off Hitler, the US was simply part of the cleaning crew. So they don’t really appreciate what real competition looks like, until now when its having a direct impact.
exactly !!!
I suspect this is not primarily about actually recruiting Chinese as US agents and informants, its about sowing the seeds of paranoia, making the Chinese government unstable from within. Having them stop trusting one another, launch a early Soviet style putch against different agencies to clean out “suspected traitors”. I doubt it will work but its not an entirely bad strategy either. It certainly plays to China’s fears at this time.
