Recently, the news on social media about the CIA director recruiting agents in 11 Chinese dialects has sparked widespread discussion, and the recruiters' annual salaries are as high as $134,000, but they are required to speak Cantonese, Hakka, Hokkien and other dialects. The CIA blatantly recruited Chinese agents, and the state media CNN even attacked China for not "watching out" against US espionage.

After the CIA set up a special special intelligence department against China and recruited agents who understood Chinese, China's state media reminded the public to remain vigilant against US espionage. Jun Zhengping, the official Microblog account of the People's Liberation Army media, asked: "What should we do when the CIA openly recruits agents who will say Chinese?" ”
For the normal reaction of the Chinese side, the US media could not sit still, and CNN actually issued a statement to China to remind the public to guard against espionage.
CNN slammed the rumors that China spread to the public that "national security is under serious and sustained threat from the United States, and U.S. spies pose a greater threat to China," and even slandered China's all-out crackdown on "Western values."
In this report, even the poster of China's National Security Education Day has become evidence that the Chinese government has "created public opinion" and "propaganda machines".
While the US media forbade China to prevent "US espionage," the C.I.A. regarded China as the most important threat, and blatantly monitored China and recruited agents who would Chinese to spy.

As early as February this year, the CIA's "China Mission Center" was put on the agenda, and CIA Director William Burns hoped that the CIA would have a stronger surveillance capability against China, just as it had done with the Soviet Union, and the CIA would deploy agents, linguists, technicians and experts in many countries around the world to gather intelligence and counter Chinese interests.
On October 7, Burns announced the creation of the China Mission Center, which he said was designed to counter what he called "the most important geopolitical threat facing the United States in the 21st century."
Burns himself now meets every week with the director of the "China Mission Center" and other CIA officials to develop a sound strategy against China.
The Washington Post also reported that while the CIA's newly established "China Mission Center" is somewhat similar to the CIA's focus on the Soviet Union during the Cold War, "China is a more formidable and complex adversary because of its larger economy."
Last week, China's Foreign Ministry slammed the CIA's move, calling it "a typical manifestation of Cold War mentality." On October 8, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said that the relevant DEPARTMENTS OF THE UNITED STATES SHOULD VIEW CHINA'S DEVELOPMENT AND SINO-US RELATIONS OBJECTIVELY AND RATIONALLY, AND STOP DOING ANYTHING THAT HARMS THE MUTUAL TRUST AND COOPERATION BETWEEN CHINA AND THE UNITED STATES AND THE INTERESTS OF CHINA'S SOVEREIGN SECURITY AND DEVELOPMENT.
