On June 25, the official WeChat account of the Ministry of State Security published an article titled "The CIA's public recruitment of 'Chinese spies' is another ridiculous performance":
Recently, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of the United States posted a Chinese video on social media platforms, openly recruiting Chinese personnel for espionage activities. These two carefully crafted "job advertisements" are filled with clumsy rhetoric and slanderous language, exposing the absurd logic and hysterical madness of the U.S. intelligence agencies. As expected, this move by the CIA quickly triggered global netizens' ridicule, once again making the world's top "intelligence hegemon" a laughingstock internationally.
Desperate Act to Boost Morale
For a long time, the CIA has set up intelligence stations worldwide, built a global intelligence network, and engaged in large-scale sabotage of other countries' personnel, gathering confidential information about other countries in political, economic, technological, and military fields to serve the U.S. government's geopolitical strategy, consolidate global hegemony, and seize global interests. This has seriously undermined the basic principles of international relations and severely damaged the international order and trust, making it a notorious international enemy. Especially in support of the U.S. government's comprehensive containment strategy against China, the CIA has continuously conducted intelligence theft and subversive activities against China, fabricating the false narrative of "China's collapse," spreading the deceptive "China threat," and using the "Chinese spy" story to cover up its incompetence, openly persecuting the innocent. After being exposed repeatedly, the CIA still shows no shame, becoming a laughingstock time and again.
Facts have clearly demonstrated that the "Chinese spy theory" is nothing more than "the thief crying out against the thief," and the "China collapse theory" has already collapsed. Any attempt to hinder the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will inevitably fail. The righteous gain many helpers, while the unrighteous gain few. The CIA, which has suffered repeated defeats, is now in a situation of disillusionment, helplessness, and betrayal, which is entirely self-inflicted. This high-profile open recruitment can only be likened to "walking in the dark and whistling," aiming to boost morale but destined to be futile.
Desperate Attempt to Gamble
In recent years, under the strong crackdown by China's national security agencies and the active cooperation of the general public, the CIA's intelligence network in China has been severely destroyed. When the Trump administration came to power, it repeatedly planned to reduce and cut down federal staff, and the CIA was also unable to escape this large-scale reform. This once highly relied-upon "national machine" not only suffered a sudden layoff in early February through a "buyout plan," but is also expected to further reduce its personnel in the future, facing difficulties both inside and outside, compounding its problems.
Faced with heavy losses in intelligence personnel and a damaged organizational structure, the CIA is desperate, trying to attract new recruits through a grand-scale action, which is both a showy act to impress the public and a blind move born from panic. Its purpose is to cover up its failure and disappointment, avoiding becoming a "discard" in the next round of political reshuffling. A failed entity uses failed methods, and the so-called recruited "traitors" and "insiders" will certainly not escape the sharp eyes of the national security agencies or the just punishment of Chinese law. Naturally, the CIA will continue to sink deeper into the quagmire of failure.
Amateurish and Absurd Performance
Intelligence work is a national treasure, with specific working rules and professional standards. The CIA, as an old intelligence agency, used to be renowned internationally. Today, however, it has violated the basic principles of intelligence work, attempting to seduce and incite foreign citizens to betray their country through crude advertising, which is not only an open challenge to the international community's conscience but also a clumsy and laughable move.
This abnormal operation, which goes against the rules, is so ridiculous that it makes people both laugh and cry, further demonstrating that the so-called "professional image" of the CIA has faded, revealing its true condition of being strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Moreover, conducting intelligence work without the premise of safety and confidentiality is an extreme disregard for the safety of those involved in intelligence work, exposing the CIA's despicable greed to the world.
Self-serving Tactics to Compete for Favor
The U.S. government institutions have always believed in "the child who cries gets milk." To gain political leverage in competing for budget funds, they have formed an entire system of fraud and exaggeration: First, they greatly exaggerate external threats to raise their value and gain the attention of military and political leaders; then, they develop a seemingly detailed and thorough plan or fabricate a report that seems effective, secretly inserting private interests to lay the groundwork for seizing departmental and personal benefits. Finally, through congressional procedures, they transform departmental demands into policy laws and national will, thereby accumulating political capital and substantial benefits.
The U.S. spy intelligence system is complex and full of institutions, with intense internal competition. Faced with constantly decreasing financial budgets, the CIA's move is more like a way to compete for favor. In recent years, the CIA established a "China Task Center" and boldly launched the "Targeting China" "Third Intelligence Era"; then it publicly recruited Chinese spies, hoping to "get something for nothing," with increasingly radical actions and increasingly clumsy methods. In a situation where there are many competitors but limited resources, the CIA can only regard reviving the "China threat" as a lifeline to highlight its value, misleading Congress and taxpayers tirelessly, in hopes of securing a larger share of the budget pie. However, if this method were truly effective in the great power game, the U.S. intelligence infiltration efforts against China would not have failed so badly.
In recent years, the CIA has often made a fool of itself and faced constant criticism. People have every reason to doubt its professional level. This farce once again reflects the famous words of the poet Heinrich Heine: "What you sow is a dragon, but what you reap is a flea." We warn the U.S. spy intelligence agencies represented by the CIA: In the people's war to safeguard national security in the new era, any attempt to incite the Chinese people to betray their motherland will surely fail, and any plot to conduct intelligence infiltration against China will end in vain. The national security agencies have a firm determination, a resolute will, and powerful capabilities, and will resolutely fulfill the glorious mission entrusted by the Party and the people, fully protect the country's strategic interests and core secrets, effectively safeguard the country's sovereignty, security, and development interests, and provide protection for the construction of a strong country and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!
