China‘s intelligence services and related hackers are engaged in a “massive, sophisticated” program to steal information as part of a technology theft campaign larger than all other foreign adversaries combined, according to FBI Director Christopher A. Wray. Additionally, Chinese intelligence agents, including professional officers, government officials and co-opted Americans, are all part of a plan to obtain valuable American proprietary technical know-how to support the ruling Communist regime, Mr. Wray said in a speech in California Monday night.(Snip)But unlike with the Soviet Union, U.S. firms are heavily invested in China‘s economy, while Beijing dispatches large numbers of students to study at elite U.S. universities.

The Chinese students stealing technology from universities and US companies has been known for decades. As an Air Force Officer I was briefed for a week on this at the National OPSEC conference in 1997. Trouble is, nobody in DC gives a crap about it! Clinton gave China missile guidance technology from Loral back then. No ER know why $$$$$ goes into politicians pockets.

Gee. And if the FBI used its resources to fight Chinese hacking operations instead of instigating plots where Democrat governors are getting kidnapped, arresting non-swamp-creature "insurrectionists", and otherwise getting involved in political matters for their Democrat masters, maybe we'd be able to actually make some progress.
Silly me.

Wray has been the FBI Director for 6 years, and has now noticed the Chinese are hacking USA computers. He might also notice the Chinese have infiltrated every organization producing anything they want, but that will take Wray another 6 years to notice.

Has anyone thought to ask Wray directly if this activity included manipulation of election data? It seems like a logical target for their military especially if you couple it with the SAR-COV-2 gain-of-function research that "leaked".

Why Trump didn't fire this guy anytime after the 2018 election-- and most certainly after the 2020 election-- is beyond me.

C'mon man...Tom Clancy wrote about this 10 years ago. Heck, most geopolitical spy/paramilitary authors of the past 10+ years have incorporated this into their novels. Probably started on Day 2 of the internet.

Hired two consultants to hack our company! They broke into every system we had! 1/2 of my servers(1,000+) had password/password as ROOT LEVEL ID and Password! Duh! They came from IBM like this…. I couldn’t believe it! Then Mgmt (CEO) decided my concerns weren’t that important. We then got hit with the “Love Bug” e-mail virus! Fixed things, did a Post Morten and resumed my consulting career! Our companies are wide open!

I don't care what Wray puts out in an effort for good publicity...not happening!
They could arrest the shooters from the grassy knoll, the CEO of Dominion, George Soros, every person seen in videos (that they are hiding) from Epstein Island....and still I will never ever trust the eff bee eye again.

Anyone operating a cloud facing servers sees these attacks non-stop. Some are from our own govt. But it never ceases.

I think every American knew this already. And if this was news to Wray, he's a hopeless idiot and dumb as a doorknob.

Why steal information when you can pay a Democrat to steal it for you?
