Federal Bureau of Investigation director Christopher Wray asserted that acts of espionage and theft by China's government pose the "greatest long-term threat" to the future of the US. Speaking at an institute in Washington, Wray described a multi-pronged disruption campaign by China, the BBC reported on Wednesday. He said China had begun targeting Chinese nationals living abroad, coercing their return, and was working to compromise US coronavirus research. In a nearly hour-long speech on Tuesday, the FBI director outlined a stark picture of Chinese interference, a far-reaching campaign of economic espionage, data and monetary theft and illegal political activities, using bribery and blackmail to influence US policy.
