China Has More Intel Agents Living In California Than The FBI
2015-06-17
[PocketFullOfLiberty] Yes, you read that correctly. The Chinese Ministry for State Security has more agents living in the state of California than it has FBI. Based in Beijing, the Ministry for State Security (MSS) is responsible for China's foreign intelligence, counter-intelligence, and security. The MSS is believed to be responsible for the majority of Chinese espionage.

Military talk show host and veteran Bryan Suits is among the personnel affected by the security breach of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management. Believed to be committed by the Chinese, the breach is quickly becoming known as one of the worst in the history of the U.S. government.

China's MSS has agents living throughout Asia, Europe, Australia, and the Americas. The number of MSS agents living in California alone is believed to be between 300 and 800. The high number, Suits explains, is attributed to California's technology sector. Silicon Valley is arguably the world's technological epicenter. Southern California is also home to a plethora of defense contractors, many of which the U.S. relies upon for developing and producing defense related hardware and software. As Suits explains, the presence of these undercover agents is costing us dearly:
Stix are unattributed, but I wouldn't doubt the numbers.

#7  Why do they need spies when they have unfettered access to all of our computers? And if they want to know something that's not in one of our databases they can just ask Obama. He probably won't know it himself but he'd be able to get the answer from one of his underlings.

Strategic Intel, not operational.
Why worry about covert technology transfer, bio, EMP or 'dirty bombs' when 60-90% of the logistics and transportation in the US can be shut down by sleeper fuel station operators draining the tanks, locking the pumps and walking away.

#4  Why would they need spies when Chinese engineers are embedded in every company?

#2  Reminds me of the Soviet General's statement from one of Roger Moore's 007 flicks, on how the USSR can't destroy Silicon Valley because, "To the contrary, Comrade, WHERE WOULD SOVIET/RUSSIAN RESEARCH BE WIDOUT IT"!
