Top officials from the U.S. and Britain have joined forced to address their increasing concerns of espionage and hacking from the Chinese Government

FBI Director, Christopher Wray and M15, Director General Ken McCallum, met in London to discuss the joint work of their security agencies to combat the serious threat posed by China.

The top law enforcement officials met with private business and academic leaders to call attention to the matter.

“Today we’re running seven times as many investigations as we were in 2018. We plan to grow as much again, while also maintaining significant effort against Russian and Iranian covert threats.”

Chinese officials are reportedly learning lessons from the west’s efforts to punish Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.

It comes as fresh research from Yale University shows western businesses have lost 59 billion dollars because of the ongoing conflict.

“And if China does invade Taiwan, we could see the same thing again, at a much larger scale,” says FBI Director Christopher Wray.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
