FBI Director Wray: Chinese Espionage ‘Most Significant’ Threat Facing US
The Gateway Pundit ^ | July 18, 2018 | Cristina Laila

On Wednesday, FBI Director Christopher Wray said China, not Russia is the “most significant” long-term threat facing the US today.

Wray sat down for an interview with NBC’s Lester Holt at the Aspen Security Forum Wednesday to discuss many different spy threats facing the US.

The Democrat-media complex is obsessed with Russia, however; Wray clearly states the FBI has economic espionage cases open in all 50 states that trace back to China.

“It covers everything from corn seeds in Iowa to wind turbines in Massachusetts and everything in between,” Wray said of China’s espionage efforts.

Of course Lester Holt wanted to desperately bring the conversation back to Russia and brought up election meddling again.

Christopher Wray did acknowledge Russia’s efforts to influence the public opinion and politics in the US, however he said not to underestimate China’s ultimate goal which is to “position itself as the sole dominant super power. They’re trying to replace the United States in that role.”

“I think China from a counterintelligence perspective represents in many ways represents the broadest, most challenging, most significant threat we face as a country,” Wray said.

He said that China’s espionage efforts are “a whole of state effort” that includes “economic espionage as well as traditional espionage and human sources as well as cyber means.”

“The volume of it, the pervasive of it, the significance of it, is something that I think this country cannot underestimate,” Wray continued.

The main reason why we have never seen actual evidence of Russians hacking into Democrat computer networks is because the reports would also reveal China to be one of the aggressors. The fact that China is spying with such aggressive techniques obliterates the entire Russian hacking narrative spun by Dems and their media sycophants.

GP can go off the rail on occasion, but the Hofts do some really good stuff, too.

Got to use discernment.

Of course China is a threat. So is Russia. So is Iran and Pakistan and Mexico.

But the most significant threat? Actually, that title belongs to the shadow Oligarchy operating out of DC.

Trump KNOWS that China is our biggest foreign threat. Thus his ‘mistakes’ of recent days. But I guess most in DC don’t want to acknowledge the China threat until Mueller gives the Dems something “Russia’ related to justify the money spent on his ‘investigation’. Trump KNOWS the truth.......MAGA!!

China/Russia.... What do they have in common ......Clintons & Cash....

This whole hocus/pocus is to cover up for their activities, and all those who “ wet their beak” along the way and now have a vested interest in keeping the theater up to prevent the real investigation/consequences from affecting those 2 and the Dem party.

Absolutely, and useful idiots like Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff and all the rest of the rats are the biggest threat to this country.

What I want to know about China, if they got Hillary’s emails, and human assets in China have been killed since the clinton reign. Were any of those assets in her emails or on her server?
