The United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has launched a direct digital appeal to Chinese citizens. The initiative, unveiled across social media platform X, formerly Twitter, features Mandarin-language recruitment videos and detailed instructions.
The move, which follows similar successful efforts in Russia, aims to cultivate a new generation of informants within the Chinese state apparatus. However, the overt nature of the campaign has sparked a wave of international debate, with many asking: Did the CIA just launch a recruitment drive on X, and why is the internet confused?
