In an unprecedented joint address, the directors of the FBI and MI5 warned on Wednesday of the multifaceted threat posed by Chinese espionage. They highlighted one potentially violent effort to prevent a Chinese dissident turned American citizen from running for a seat in Congress.
The heads of the American FBI and British MI5 have never before appeared side by side for a joint statement. Christopher Wray travelled from Washington to show a united front with British intelligence head Ken McCallum in London on Wednesday, July 6, where they declared that there is currently no greater threat to the West than China.
