China's Attempt to Influence U.S. Institutions: A Conversation with FBI Director Christopher Wray

Join Hudson Institute for a conversation with Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Christopher Wray on the pernicious influence of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in the United States and how the Bureau is responding to curtail Beijing’s far reaching influence.

Thank you for putting this comprehensive speech together. It's much needed.

TikTok ban along with other apps, just like India did, should be a good starting point.

Mr. Wray pointed out that CCP, as a totalitarian actor, has immense power against any private company. This is true. When any company encounters or does business (directly or indirectly) with China, they are not competing with a company; rather, they are competing the entire state power/apparatus. Former President of Republic of China (Taiwan), Chiang Ching-kuo, told officials who naively thought they could cooperate with CCP in 1980s that "any contact with CCP is suicidal". The reason was exactly as what Mr. Wray said today.

story of usa and china reminds me of race between rabbit and tortoise, where rabbit after going way ahead (here defeating ussr) got relaxed and started resting unknowingly that he was still in the race with tortoise.

the difference between the liberal and conservative pages,
the conservative pages allow commenting.

There needs to be a TV series made - probably by Netflix if they are able take a stand more strongly than other broadcasters - about the whole situation described in this talk. There are other aspects such as China's very negative influence, using bribery and threats, to dominate small nations around the globe, especially in the Pacific region, and their unilateral take over of international waters in the South China Sea. Really the list is very long of how extremely hostile and extremely dangerous China has become under the Chinese Communist Party. Everything needs exposing in detail. An 8 or 10 part TV series is called for urgently in my opinion.

I like that analogy of multiple questions and the answer all of above.

Note: The brief speech starts at 59: 52. This is an extremely interesting & scary speech by the current FBI Director, Christopher Wray. Some info has not been spoken about or has the FBI revealed ever before. Please listen & pay close attention. This is very important information for the US population to pay attention to!

[maryzhang]

How many Chinese scientists were or are working for USA?

[raygreenwood]

Is it possible to get a written transcript of Director Wray’s talk?

[resourcetrafficking]

Wow that’s alot to burden the public. It must b very serious.

[redatticus]

I understand. Now heres the question. What made Americans let China seep, intertwine and then control so many levers inside the United States, whether it be academia or investment or industry.
What was the US doing until now?

[stevenobinator]

Super impressive Guy, thankfully he's on our side

[keithbrown]

Where's James Angelton when you need him!

[saffronsolo]

It seems that the politicians are the last to know.

[ohmswats]

we have noon about this for years why is it still going on

[Evilpricetag]

This is a surprisingly accurate view from our side. I really wish the US and many other countries would have stood by Hong Kong during its time of need. A lot of innocent people, especially children are being effected negatively by this Chinese government regime.

Makes me worry if the world really will allow China to just conquer Taiwan.

Trump isn't a real genius, but conveniently "training" our navy in "Chinese" waters was a good move.

Edit: I suppose we do need to weed out the issues at home first.

May the hounds of our Intelligence and Justice system be released against the foxes!
