CIA Releases Video To Recruit Spies In China Amid Xi's Top Brass Purge
The CIA rolled out a new recruitment video Thursday aimed squarely at prying open cracks inside China's military establishment - already as a Xi CCP purge of top military officials has been underway, according to Reuters. This latest video features a "disillusioned mid-level Chinese military officer" pitching other officers in the People's Liberation Army (PLA) on the idea of quietly switching sides and feeding US intelligence - which seems a bit on the nose.
Reuters described the release as the "latest U.S. step in a campaign to ramp up human intelligence gathering on Washington's strategic rival" - though clearly there's a psychological operations element to it, given the obviously 'public' nature of a video pushed directly by the CIA.
In the video, the fictional PLA officer declares: "Anyone with leadership qualities is bound to be subject to suspicion and ruthlessly eliminated" - an ...

US-Controlled ATACMS Missiles Deployed In South China Sea, 10km Off China's Mainland
Authored by Drago Bosni
Mere days after the US-backed government in Taipei launched the so-called Joint Firepower Coordination Center (JFCC), defined as “an enhanced firepower coordination effort in close cooperation with the United States”, multirole sources have confirmed that the Chinese breakaway island province of Taiwan is deploying the overhyped and exorbitantly overpriced M142 HIMARS MLRS (multiple launch rocket system) to the islands of Penghu and Dongyin.
The US-made system is also equipped with ATACMS missiles, extending its reach to 300 km. Taipei insists that this will “strengthen the effectiveness of the kill chain”, while its Ministry of Defense (MoD) stressed that the increase in HIMARS orders to 111 units was undertaken specifically to forward-deploy them to the islands closest to China's mainland.

New Podcast "The Sixth Bureau" Explores China Spycraft (Bloomberg)
|
|
|
Bloomberg News Technology Reporter Drake Bennett and Senior Cybersecurity Reporter Jordan Robertson join Bloomberg Businessweek Daily to discuss the launch of their limited podcast series, "The Sixth Bureau." The series follows Xu Yanjun, the Deputy Division Director of the Sixth Bureau of the Jiangsu Province MSS office – who also happens to be on a mission to snatch the crown jewel of American aerospace: GE jet engines. With dead drops, cyberattacks, aliases, blackmail and the occasional break-in, Xu played a role in one of the largest economic espionage operations in history, targeting corporate giants like DuPont, Boeing and General Motors. But in the end, his sloppiness – and a cunning FBI sting – led to a stunning reversal. Bennett and Robertson discuss with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec. (Source: Bloomberg)...

US Briefly Names Alibaba, Baidu as Firms Aiding China′s Military (Bloomberg)
|
|
|
The Pentagon added Alibaba, BYD, Baidu and TP-Link Technologies Co. to a list of companies that aid the Chinese military – before withdrawing it minutes later without explanation. The moves on Friday roiled shares of the affected listed companies and left analysts wondering about the administration's intentions. If the list is reposted, they said it would be a show of strength ahead of President Donald Trump's expected trip to China and meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in April. Asked about the notice, the Pentagon said in a statement to Bloomberg News that “we have nothing to announce at this time.” Bloomberg News Senior Editor for Technology & Strategic Industries Michael Shepard joins Bloomberg Businessweek Daily to discuss. He speaks with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec. (Source: Bloomberg)...
