Most Americans have likely had their information stolen already, Wray says



FBI Director Christopher Wray on Tuesday warned Americans that the Chinese government's theft of American information is taking place on so large a scale, suspected incidents make up nearly half of his bureau's counterintelligence cases.



Speaking at an event hosted by the Hudson Institute in Washington, Wray said that Chinese thefts amount to "one of the largest transfers of wealth in human history," and that the American people are the victims.



"Of the nearly 5,000 active FBI counterintelligence cases currently under way across the country, almost half are related to China," Wray said. "And at this very moment, China is working to compromise American health care organizations, pharmaceutical companies and academic institutions conducting essential COVID-19 research."





In fact, Wray said that most Americans have already been affected.



"If you're an American adult, it is more likely than not that China has stolen your personal data," he said.





Wray said that the Chinese Communist Party "uses a diverse range of sophisticated techniques — everything from cyber intrusions to corrupting trusted insiders," and even "outright physical theft." To do this, he claimed, they use "a wide range of actors — including not just Chinese intelligence services, but state-owned enterprises, ostensibly private companies, certain kinds of graduate students and researchers, and a whole variety of other actors working on their behalf."



The director said that, in some cases, China uses social media platforms used by Americans "to identify people with access to our government's sensitive information and then target those people to try to steal it."





Wray's remarks come a day after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the Trump administration is considering restricting United States' users' access to the Chinese social media application TikTok over concerns it is potentially being used by the Beijing government as a means to surveil and propagandize people.



Pompeo warned Americans that they should be cautious in using the video app, lest they want their private information "in the hands of the Chinese Communist Party."

Do Taiwanese have nightmares about Mainlanders occupying, rounding up anyone who ever said a critical word and their families onto underground trains, as a perpetual blizzard rages above and causes people to turn on each other for food, shelter, and clothing?

Here's one of those cases



https://www.foxnews.com/us/professor-charged-scheme-us-grant-money-research-china">Professor charged over scheme to use $4M in US grant money to conduct research for China



A criminal complaint alleges that Song Guo Zheng was a participant in a Chinese Talent Plan, a program established by China to recruit individuals with access to foreign intellectual property




An Ohio State University professor with ties to China is charged with using more than $4 million in U.S. grant money to develop rheumatology and immunology expertise for the Chinese government, according to an indictment unsealed Thursday.



Song Guo Zheng, 57, was arrested on May 22 at an airport in Anchorage, Alaska while preparing to board a charter flight to China, the U.S. Department of Justice said in a press release.



At the time of his arrest, Zheng was carrying three large bags, filed electronic devices, expired Chinese passports for his family, deeds for a property in China, among other items, the DOJ said.





Thursday's indictment charges Zheng with grant fraud for not disclosing that he was engaged in a scheme to use approximately $4.1 million in grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to help the Chinese government. He has been ordered held without bond because a judge determined he is a flight risk.



Zheng is also charged with making false statements about his employment in China at the same time he was employed at Ohio State University, among other universities.



An affidavit filed after his arrest alleges that since 2013 Zheng had been participating in a Chinese Talent Plan, a program established by the Chinese government to recruit individuals with knowledge or access to foreign technology intellectual property.  





"Yet again, we are faced with a professor at a U.S. University, who is a member of a Chinese Talent Plan, allegedly and deliberately failing to disclose his relationship with a Chinese university and receipt of funds from the Chinese Government in order to obtain millions of dollars in U.S. grant money designed to benefit the health and well-being of the people of the United States — not to be hijacked to supplement the research goals of the Chinese Communist Party," said Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers.



Zheng faces up to 10 years in prison for the charge of fraud or bribery, and up to five years for making false statements. His case is slated to be presented to a federal grand jury for possible indictment. An investigation is continuing.
