“For a better life”: CIA publishes videos to lure angered KCP officials to spy on China | China

TThe CIA is on a recruitment drive for foreign spies. Chinese civil servants and workers who will turn the US secret service agency against Beijing are on the sights of the US secret service agency.

The two videos touch the probable fears of some within the communist party machine – in a low job that supports an increasingly wealthy corrupt civil servant or the endless cleansing has been victims that have been applied since XI Jinping millions of party members.

“When I get up in the party, I watch those who are thrown away over me like worn shoes, but now I realize that my fate was as precarious as hers,” says a narrator in a video and adds that he has to protect his family whose fate is bound to his.

In another case, the narrator explains: “The failure of our leaders to make repeated promise of prosperity has become a well -known secret. It is time to start working on my own dreams.”

The two Chinese-speaking videos published on Thursday will continue to be the hostility of retails between the two superpowers. Accessible on YouTube you will be the title “Why I contacted the CIA: to take control of my fate” and “Why I contacted the CIA: for a better life”.

“Do you have information about economic, fiscal or trade policy?” The CIA asks the caption.

“Work in the defense industry? Work in national security, diplomacy, science, progressive technology or with people who work in these areas? Please contact us. The information you can provide is important and we appreciate your insights on these topics.”

The videos end with encrypted contact information for the agency.

The campaign follows earlier efforts that began in October, with instructions published online for potential assets in China, Iran and North Korea to get in touch with the CIA. The agency explained that it was successful to include Russians.

“If it didn't work, we would no longer make videos,” a CIA officer told Reuters, who said that the officials were confident that the videos would come past China's strict internet controls.

In the past few weeks, Russian military recruitment videos have spread in the Chinese social media and have been looking for mercenaries who have to struggle against Ukraine in their war, but it is not clear whether the Chinese authorities distributed these videos or were simply unable to stop them.

The CIA particularly focuses on building up a spy network in China. A few years before XI 2012 came to power, the Chinese State Security Ministry reduced a US espionage ring in which at least a dozen CIA assets are locked up and executed.

In return, China has strengthened the anti-espionage laws and encouraged citizens to carefully monitor and report the suspicious activities of the people around them.

The United States now consider China for its most serious military and cyber threat.

“It is intended to dominate the world economically, militarily and technologically,” said CIA director John Ratcliffe in a statement. “Our agency must continue to react to this threat with urgency, creativity and grit, and these videos are just one of the possibilities as we do.”
