On Thursday, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino announced that the bureau has successfully dismantled a significant Chinese espionage operation operating within the United States, which involved agents actively attempting to recruit American service members to betray their nation.
In a statement shared on X, Bongino revealed that the FBI executed eight search warrants and made two arrests in cities including San Francisco, Houston, Portland, and San Diego as part of this operation. He characterized the spy ring as ‘sophisticated’ and directly linked to the Chinese government.
‘This is your FBI, and you deserve to be informed about the efforts we undertake daily to ensure the safety of our country and its citizens,’ Bongino stated.
