The Biden administration’s scrapping of a controversial FBI initiative that monitored industrial and academic relations with China has emboldened the economic giant to increase its spying on the US, according to a security expert.Winning Space: How America Remains a Superpower

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the DOJ’s decision to scrap its “China Initiative” “emboldens China’s efforts to steal American jobs and American intellectual property and American secrets.”“The FBI’s core responsibility to prevent foreign spying must be focused on the CCP [Chinese Community Party].

“Allowing a spy balloon to transit sensitive military sites evidences an absence of seriousness and urgency,” Pompeo said.“To be clear, we are focused on the actions of the PRC government, the Chinese Communist Party, and their agents — not the Chinese people or those of Chinese descent,” said Assistant Attorney General Matthew Olsen

“Biden is desperate not to raise the threat level too high with China,” said intelligence expert Brandon Weichert. “If more Americans find out what China doing on their shores, they would be outraged.”In addition to working with private investigators, the Chinese government has set up a network of more than 100in urban centers across the globe, including New York City, according to Safeguard Defenders.
