The agency is believed to play a rather significant role in China’s domestic and international security and stability, mounting various challenges at home and abroad.
In the context of China’s growing clout and geopolitical frictions, experts believe that it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Beijing is seeking to establish or even expand surveillance facilities in Cuba, or in fact, anywhere else, with the US as the main target.
In the meantime, intelligence gathering in China has become much harder. Xi slowly consolidated his power and became increasingly focused on security, such as building out the state’s ability to monitor its citizens, both online and through China’s extensive surveillance infrastructure.
The task of collecting intelligence in China has become harder than ever and, somehow, more necessary than ever. There are increasing challenges in gaining insight into the government under the centralized leadership of XI, who has an incredibly small circle of trust. China is building a domestic “surveillance panopticon”, which also enables its counterintelligence.

I am alarmed by articles such as this about the Chinese Communist Party’s effort to divide this country by distributing propaganda or misleading information (is there a difference?) that if read or heard in or of itself, causes dissension among the populace. The subject matter is not limited to gun violence given as an example in the article – it may also be about mundane things such as the ever-growing polls that elevate the popularity of the 45th POTUS to a point high above what any other campaign challenger can even dream of reaching. Deception aimed at the less well-informed citizens of the USA may be extremely beneficial to foreign powers.
THANK YOU.
What is the big deal !!! We have been doing it for who knows how long.
Do what I do, stay away from all political news and then just vote for the Republican of your choice but vote. Ha ha ha. An old line from a 1960 JFK First Family comedy album that said “Vote for the Kennedy of your choice but vote. “
Listen to news but do your search and use your own intelligence to draw a conclusion.
Make my own decisions about the political race.
China has a big problem because it’s population is decreasing. There is nothing they can do to change that so they engage in cover-up. Any country with decreasing population will not be around for long.
The only AI that I know of is trump and that actually intelligent
You could have, at the bare minimum, shown us at least one way the Chinese were doing it. Or is this part of their evil plot?
Voting in America is really a hoax. The Party in power enjoys the illusion that they were elected by a democratic process but it’s all an illusion created by the founders of the country to attempt to satisfy the general uneducated populace.
