Dealing with the Chinese Espionage
China has been spying any nation perceived as a threat to its rise as an economic power. Notably, America has not escaped the Chinese Espionage as it has several reported cases of cyber-attacks from the Asian nation. Tactics used by China in the stealing of critical military and economic information from the US are sophisticated. Physical theft and the use of trusted people are ways that Chine wants to be compared to the US or even get better. Besides, the stealing of innovations from the US is a significant method that the Chinese have perfected to steal crucial data from the Trump-led nation (Wray, 2020). The use of academicians, privately-owned companies, and sectors like agriculture are other ways that Chinese has been spying on the US. However, some recommendations and suggestions can end the Chinese Espionage on America like proper intelligence by the US, education monitoring, and economic sanctions.
The bolstering of intelligence services by the US is a significant step that can be used to deal with the Chinese Espionage. America should understand the counterintelligence that is applied by China and respond appropriately. Besides, it's time the US implemented a response that is multi-faceted as the powerful nation from Asia has been using a multi-faceted method in stealing innovations from the US (Wray, 2020). Agencies like the DOJ and FBI have to implement strategies in all US sectors to gather intelligence.
