FBI and MI5 discuss China security threat
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.
They believe China is making moves to shield its economy from any future sanctions, if it does try to take Taiwan by force.
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.
