The Spin

Anti-China narrative

By naming China its unparalleled priority, the CIA signals a commitment to deterring aggression and safeguarding global stability — including the well-being of the Chinese people. This strategy has doubled China-focused resources and expanded work across the agency, seeking truthful insight despite tighter controls. Freedom-minded Chinese citizens cooperating with the U.S. help expose realities and reduce miscalculation. Secure contact guidance shows seriousness and care.

CIA on X CIA

Pro-China narrative

The CIA's Chinese-language recruitment videos expose not protection but desperation. The agency is advancing U.S. hegemony, violating international norms, fabricating "China threat" narratives and recruiting foreigners to illegally infiltrate states. Public spy ads, amid budget cuts and exposed failures, mock basic tradecraft, endanger recruits and amount to whistling in the dark.
