Chinese Espionage Against the U.S.: No Better Tool

Not that anyone likes having their asses handed to them, but since China claims to be peaceful... I wonder if they would give us ours on a silver platter. We're so caught up with news about dead models and fear that the intelligence agencies are looking into our purchasing behavior that, as Americans, we have lost sight of the enemy. They are here my friends: among us!

Chinese espionage directed against the United States has met with "total success for China" and "total failure" for America's own intelligence operations, said an author and reporter on national security issues.

Counter-intelligence operations have allowed the Chinese to block and manipulate U.S. electronic eavesdropping operations while the theft of U.S. technology has helped accelerate Beijing's military ambitions, Bill Gertz said Friday at a gathering of the Defense Forum Foundation on Capitol Hill.

Chinese operatives now have the ability to feed false information about the true nature and strategic aims of the communist regime, Gertz said in his talk. For that reason it is now easier for the Beijing government to circulate misinformation about a "peaceful rise" that belies potential hostility toward the United States, he added.
