FBI Director Calls China The 'Greatest Threat' To The U.S.

The FBI accuses China of coercing critics to return home, with threats extending to their families. FBI Director Christopher Wray highlights that nearly half of the FBI's counterintelligence cases involve China, which aims to become the world's sole superpower. Economic espionage linked to China has surged, posing significant risks to the US economy. In response, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs dismisses these claims as political deception. While China's actions do not directly target the upcoming US presidential election, they may have indirect implications.
