CHINA is the biggest long-term threat to the West, MI5 and the FBI warned last night.

Beijing plans to ransack our secrets and steal technology, their bosses said.

It is using repression to shape the world in its favour, they added, in the first joint address in the agencies’ history.

MI5 chief Ken McCallum said his spooks were running seven times more investigations into China than in 2018.

FBI head Christopher Wray said it was opening one China-linked case every 24 hours.

Mr McCallum said presumptions that closer ties with President Xi Jinping’s China would see it change were wrong.

The heads of the FBI and MI5 appeared together for the first time on Wednesday in London to warn of the threat posed by China.

FBI Director Christopher Wray said the government in Beijing was the biggest long-term threat to the U.S. and its allies.

He pointed to both economic and national security concerns.

“The Chinese government is set on stealing your technology, whatever it is that makes your industry tick, and using it to undercut your business and dominate your market. And they're set on using every tool at their disposal to do it.”

Wray also warned businesses against what he said were the practices of the Chinese government,

saying it was using “every tool” in order to steal technologies.

MI5 Director General Ken McCallum said they had "more than doubled" efforts against what he called "Chinese activity of concern."

“The widespread Western assumption that growing prosperity within China and increasing connectivity with the West would automatically lead to greater political freedom has, I'm afraid, been shown to be plain wrong. But the Chinese Communist Party is interested in our democratic media and legal systems - not to emulate them, sadly, but to use them for its gain.”

Just last week U.S. lawmakers unveiled a bill to block exports of U.S. personal data to countries like China that they say pose national security risks.

You guys pls do not upset peace in Asia Pacific Region, we have 50 years of Peace. Unnecessary & deadly Ukraine war is for all to witness !

Instead of spending unfounded threats. China is an advance country, they have Space Station. No need to steal your technology. Maybe the other way round! Pls work on Peace Initiative & Climate Change !

We come to this Life journey ONLY once, let there be peace ☮️ & benevolence, compassion & Love.

Always try to look from the other side. Dispute & differences can be iron out. It takes time & patience.

Make no haste to take up arms as we, the People, are mature at this electronic & metaverse era. Appreciate the advancement of science & technology.

God love & bless souls who promote Peace & Harmony among His children !!!

China never fought an expansion war since the end of the civil war between the kuomintung, china has never openly said the the world that US is a threat unless the US announced that they think china is a threat to America. Do you know what I think?
They want to be the top boys and continue to spread their imperialism idea to Asia.
