## CIA Recruitment Video Targeting Chinese Military

CIA Recruitment Video Targeting Chinese Military

On Thu, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) released a new recruitment video in Chinese on its YouTube channel. The video encourages members of China's military to establish contact with the United States intelligence agency.

This video is part of a series designed to guide Chinese and Russian citizens on how to securely communicate with the CIA using the encrypted Tor Browser. The videos typically feature a fictional narrative focusing on characters who experience doubts about their government and then choose to collaborate with Washington.

The latest video, which lasts just under two minutes, depicts a Chinese military officer confronting concerns about his nation's leadership, depicted as self-interested. It illustrates the officer's internal conflict regarding the influence of these leaders on his daughter's future.

The video references Sun Tzu’s "The Art of War," noting that while the best strategy is to "triumph without fighting," the current leadership is portrayed as eager to engage in conflict. The narrative concludes with the officer contacting the CIA, portraying this action as a means to protect his family and country.

The video ends by urging viewers to download the Tor Browser to reach the CIA, emphasizing the global stakes involved. Accompanying text on YouTube prompts users with questions regarding their connections to high-ranking Chinese officials or their involvement in relevant fields such as military, intelligence, diplomacy, and technology.

While Beijing has not provided an immediate response to this specific video, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has previously characterized US intelligence recruitment efforts as deceptive tactics aimed at undermining Chinese personnel.

Historically, the CIA's network in China suffered significant setbacks between 2010 and 2012, leading to the dismantling of its operations and the imprisonment or death of at least 30 individuals, as reported by foreign policy analyses. This collapse was partially attributed to flaws in the communication systems used at the time.
