Abstract

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is increasing its efforts to recruit Chinese citizens due to growing discontent with President Xi Jinping's rule. The agency has issued instructions in Chinese on various social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Telegram, and X, explaining how individuals can securely contact the CIA on its public and dark web sites. The CIA aims to capitalize on the dissatisfaction within China and gain insights into the workings of the Chinese government, as tensions between the US and China continue to rise. The recruitment effort is supported by a growing number of CIA China experts around the world, who can also develop relationships with friendly foreign governments to warn them of potential threats from Beijing.
