CIA releases videos that persuade Chinese officials to steer secrets in front of us | Espionage news

The social media campaign shows fictional scenes of civil servants who are disillusioned by the ruling Chinese Communist Party.

The CIA has launched a Chinese-speaking social media campaign, in which government officials are asked to change pages in China and to steer secrets to the United States.

The two videos published on Thursday show fictional scenes in which Chinese officials are involved who approach the top secret service agency after being disillusioned by the ruling Communist Party of China (KP).

In one of the videos, an actor who shows a high-ranking KPCH member describes the fear he feels for his family when he witnesses civil servants around him like “worn shoes”.

“This man, who has worked hard to the top in his life, is now deeply realizing that it is inadequate to protect his family in these turbulent and disturbing times,” says a Chinese -language description of the video on YouTube.

“He longs to take control of his fate and find a way to protect his family, and the successes that he has built up in years of hard work. She realized that everything he has can disappear at a moment, he has driven to make a difficult but decisive decision to get to the CIA.”

The videos published on platforms such as Facebook, Telegram, Instagram and X contain instructions for “safe” and “safe” that contact the CIA, including the Dark -Webbrowser Tor.

“One of the main roles of the CIA is to collect intelligence for the president and for our political decision -makers,” said CIA director John Ratcliffe in an interview with Fox News.

“One of the possibilities that we do is to recruit assets that can help us steal secrets.”

China's embassy in Washington did not immediately answer a request for a comment.

Desmond Shum, a Chinese property that lives in the United Kingdom, described the CIA campaign as the “most aggressive public step” of the agency against China in life.

“This type of public relations is exactly the kind of provocation that the KPCH and XI Jinping personally calms down,” said Shum to X and referred to the Chinese President Xi Jinping.

“His obsession with lifelong rule is based on a unique goal: to secure the steadfast control of the party through China.”
