It's not just some engine fan blades, it's decades of research in material science, high speed computing, aerodynamics, and manufacturing technologies behind those blades. It's hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars invested in fundamental science research, industrial manufacturing, and talent development. It's also a differentiator of military capabilities in modern warfare.

a lot of that research is carried on by chinese fellas, educated by china :-) so, it's ok 'if they get some crumbs in return, even if they have to steal it. the us does the same, it's a fair game. chances are, in 20 yrs china will beat the us in so many high tech areas that stealing will start to go mostly in other direction...
China Basically steal American tax payers money by stealing this Billions of dollar R&D technology and China selling this for a low price! Everyone wants to buy low price product!
@@jasonborne5724 That's right they are coming in to replace the cheap labor that can't afford to reproduce itself. That's one of the reason they are ending abortion for the poor also. The fertility rate in advanced capitalist societies is below population replacement. Without immigration or a major change in culture they will not have enough young to take care of the elderly.
@@bihapi why china need to lead nothing? They haven't working rules and know just zero to leading a world. Some country will lead other's to right way, if those leaded ones agree it too. China have own work to do and there's no countries who want to copy anything from china and be leaded by them. Not even some Hongkong and even old puppet's would quit.
How is it enlightening? It just reflects that both of their constituents oppose trade secrets being leaked to countries like China, which is easy for pretty much everyone in America to be in favor of.
It's worth noting that these engine fan blades aren't just marginally better corporate products, they're essential for advanced military jet engines, which is why China desperately wants this tech.
As a retired former highly cleared Aerospace/Defense Engineer and Program/Project Manager, I know from personal experience the US intelligence community stress tests individual and program security through role play and other functional means. My career spanned the Toshiba submarine prop effort and Walker spy cases, among a handful of others. I personally was approached by an agent in a public social gathering of many employees pretending to be just an average curious citizen asking questions about my work. I suspected something fishy about his interest and immediately reported the adverse incident to my program security office. Their response and reaction was telling, in that my notice was not unexpected. It was a stress test!
The Chinese had been stealing the " Know How Technology " from the West for a long time without people knowing or realizing. Now it's almost too late and we might be falling behind them. Never to let any Chinese citizen enter the U.S in the first place. They had been doing worse to other smaller and less develop countries like Asia. Time for a new and stronger president. Joe Biden is too soft and weak. Mr. Xi Ji Peng and the CCP see him as a piece of cake but not a threat. Trump was more of a threat to them. LOL
This story is a planted story, so of course two senators are going to sit together to support the agency's mission. Rubio has been on intelligence committees for a while now, nothing odd about it. Use your head to question why the U.S. government wants us to bridge intelligence services and corporations even further than they already are. Look up the history of Silicon Valley companies and U.S. intelligence, the relationship goes back to start-ups. Facebook is a perfect example.
The fact that the GE employee was approached by the FBI prior to meeting the spy without telling anyone where he was going proves he was already prepared to hand over the information.
@@freekick129 He's working with highly sensitive information, so I'm sure there are procedures in place to notify the government about international travel. Particularly travel to China.
The FBI started investigating the engineer after he went to China and didn't disclose it to his employer with his work laptop (to help prepare) for his speech at the University. That's when the FBI went and saw him when he got back and started tricking the guy in China.
When I lived in Kenya I once bumped into a Chinese spy. She was a young and very good looking girl. There were a number of things that made me suspicious. She did not want me to take photos of her, she wanted to know if I had any local political contacts, she worked as a Chinese language teacher at a local college yet drove and expensive 4x4 and had top notch camera equipment and her pervious assignment was in Tibet. I straight up asked if she was a spy you should have seen her face !
The chinese are very serious about this place. How serious? their diplomats have an unofficial office in a chinese restaurant. Its next door the us embassy here. Also the chinese embassy is across the road from kenyan defence headquarters. They bought and built in the most strategic places. Office blocks, apartments and warehouses. Not to sell, they are the new landlords. They bought city hall a long time ago. They build 20 floor apartments on one acre of land and 900 idivudual studio units.
US are struggling to compete in Renewable energy because their dollars are stuck crude oil and gas, EV with Chinese brands are doing better because Chinese currency is not stuck in crude oil and gas. EV cars will be on many roads in the next 20 years because, borrowing dollars to buy crude and gas based energy is unsustainable. As for Chinese technologists, may be, they are stealing ideas before they reach American heads. However, 250,000 Chinese stem graduates vs 6 million American stem graduates every year may tell a different story regarding who is innovating in tech and who is not.
This GE employee is obviously Chinese who's more than likely a US Citizen now. We need to stop admitting these toads into the country, plus stop hiring them into any positions that they can exploit. If they want to work let them deliver newspapers, toad food, or they can work as rickshaws. Never ever hire one to position within a corporation, Government or Military installation.

I’m an American who lived in China from 2004 to 2020. I had a simple job as a teacher. Because I flew a lot I earned status with an American airline that led to lots of upgrades to business class to & from Shanghai. Over the years I lost track of how many Americans were getting paid to travel to China to give presentations about their “field of expertise,” - from executives in the banking & real estate sector to professors at top US universities & doctors from well known hospitals. I heard their stories about how they were wined & dined, offered gifts like second homes in China and so much more.
In my experience with business and manufacturing, anytime that you partnership with the Chinese, they will work with you until they can fully manufacture your product to their advantage. Then they all of a sudden, "Have no need to proceed with your partnership because financial needs have changed." They cut ties, then manufacture your (now their) product for the Chinese market, then to sell to the world. You gave the Chinese the plans, they use cheap labor to profit and then put you out of business.
This is the reason I push so hard for good security practices in my day to day work. Unfortunately I often encounter people that only focus on the business side of building software and they are willing to take shortcuts to speed up development time, at the cost of security best practices. In my opinion, we are more vulnerable than most people realize.
I work in one of the sensitive sectors mentioned in this video. Many of my colleagues are from China. Once in a while, theses folks resign overnight after working for several years in the field. In all these cases, they moved back to China working for competition with BIG paychecks.I wonder how much secrets they were carrying with them
Thanks for sharing your stories. I worked in semiconductor equipment, and about 13yrs ago, we suddenly locked out all employees there on Ch work VISAs, from sensitive servers that helped IP. We had a Chinese PhD engineer who complained about needing access to these to do their job. This espionage has been going on for well over 10yrs. Closer to 20yrs.
I think industries must work together with the government to come up with solid action plans to combat R&D theft but one good way is to design many different proto types of a product or software- with one been real and the rest fakes. Use the fake designs as bait to both catch and defer would be thieves.
I retired from a big company that prefers to remain anonymous. As part of our final hiring process, each employee was subject to a police background check, a financial background check, sign a non disclosure agreement and non compete clause. All that because we handled documents from large corporations, government and the military. We just looked like any other reprographic and sign making firm but we had some pretty special clearances. I was a confidential and restricted clearance document printer. Handled some pretty amazing blueprints, maps and tech manuals. Had one client who offered me a decommissioned compressor blade bank assembly so I can turn it into a fantastic coffee table design element under a round class table when they found out my unique free time furniture making skills.
I would say US is doing not so good in counter-intelligence efforts. China's spies have been able to steal sensitive information from US. But vice versa, CIA activities in China seem to be a failure. CIA struggled to operate their espionage network in China. There are literally countless CIA HUMINT sources going missing (either killed or captured), some even turned into double agents by Chinese counter-intelligence elements.
It is the US that is doing the most spying and data stealing in the world! The world knows this fact from Edward Snowden, Julian Assange, Jack Tazzia who speak the truth to the world !
The reporter asked the guy at the start of the video "How does the US win this espionage war" and imho that question shows he doesn't understand the basics of espionage. In game theory the espionage game is an "infinite game" and that is a game where not all of the players are known, not all of the rules are known(or are basically made up as the game progresses) and the basic objective for players in that game is just to continue the game. A "finite game" is one where the players are known, rules are known and there is some target game state, target date, target amount resources, etc determines the end of the game. A player doesn't win or lose in an infinite game theory game but instead only loses the will and or resources to continue the game. For example, the US did not win the cold war and instead the USSR lost the will and resources to continue when they fell.
Why did you use so many words to say that Espionage has no end? Do you think you're being intelligent by writing more? If anything the opposite, if you can't get your point across quickly and efficiently then perhaps you shouldn't be correcting people
@@alphasheep99 Them: "How does the US win this espionage war?" You: "Espionage has no end." *smug face* Them: "Explain." You: *Surprised Pikachu face* My guy failed every essay question in high school.

Obviously the FBI needs a lot more funding and power so they can study the movements of all Chinese nationals, including international students. The US is home to many CCP members and their family.
They always do their job, or at least try to do so. They just rarely make it public. With good reason - more often than not, a finished operation, if revealed, would also reveal sensitive information about other, ongoing operations, and potentially compromise those.
@@a0flj0The FBI knew about Larry Nassar for a whole year and in that time he molested 64 more girls. They literally knew about every mass shooter in the last 20 years at least a year in advance before their shootings. Sutherland Springs, Buffalo, Nashville, Pulse nightclub, Colorado, all those shooters were on the FBI’s radar, but they’ll find time to harass parents who are vocal at PTA meetings and track down people who weren’t even in the Capitol on Jan 6. The FBI aren’t our friends. No, they don’t even attempt to do their jobs.
good. Having been in China 20yrs ago on business, corporate espionage was thriving wildly. Every foriegner knew where to buy counterfeit goods.. Every.. and if you didn't, street people would see the big nose foriegner, and hunt you down. Just look at BYD's 2004 logo, and tell me that doesn't look like BMW. Even the name, BYD, and B M Double-U
The same thing happened to me. Unfortunately I said I was, which led to an investigation, my arrest and a lengthy jail sentence. At least I made lots of money....now I keep my mouth shut about it.
Small correction: Xu was working on behalf of the People's Republic of China (PRC), NOT the Republic of China (ROC), which is the historically unfortunate official name of self-ruled, democratic Taiwan. Seems like a slip up, but an important geopolitical distinction.
@@jtgd I remember years ago the government used to say buying weed and pirated DVDs was funding Muslim terrorists. Now the government wants everyone to buy weed. Weird how that works.
Many industries are under attack by spies. Back in the day i was an independent agent in the aerospace defence industry. I had to get security clearance to be involved in a particular project. I knew what it meant the 1st day i entered the classified secured departmsnt of that corporation. I did need to take the sensor support structure out od the facility and i believe i was given 24 hrs or 48hrs and understood 100% that the blue prints and item were classified and could not be shown to anyone. I placex my bids to manufacture the piece and soon after all the documents and blue prints were destroyed by myself to protect the technology. A few years after doing those projects i noticed the company had taken my advice on a specific procedure and it becams a mandats on some orders from suppliers (no comlensation given to myself but i take 100% credit for it)
We are in cold War with china and Russia we need to step up our security and check anyone who is loyal to the communist party and prosecuted them to the fullest extent when we capture one of theirs they get a few years in prison when the chinese communist party catches one of our assets they get executed so you see how difficult for us to win ?
His cultivation of the contact was seemingly professional but his travel habits were reckless beyond description. For him to utilize iCloud with personal information and have that on his field phone is just unbelievable. It's almost on purpose?
Maybe, he did say work family money relationships arent going the right way. Maybe he's looking to get martyred, and get a hero's welcome and a huge payout when he gets out of us prison.
I wouldn't think so. I tend to disagree (slightly) with Olsen's assessment of Xiu's tradecraft. Having received the register, he quickly realised that his operation was going to land him a very big prize, and this would result in praise (and almost certainly a promotion) from his superior. Along with this, there would inevitably be a pay rise, maybe even bonuses, that would go some way to ease his financial situation. I guess an initial success of this magnitude boosted his confidence, clouded his judgment, and he dropped his guard, thinking that, once he copied the hard drive and delivered it to HQ, he was on his way up. Bringing his personal phone to the meeting was a second level error. He should have at least left it with another agent who should have been monitoring the meeting from a safe distance. The rule is to carry a mobile phone with you loaded with information on it that would support your cover. He failed to deploy a counter intelligence team to scope out the meeting place. His embassy would have provided one. This measure would have saved him. Olsen was correct in that Xiu did everything by the book, using classic tradecraft (Moscow Rules, as we used to call it), until he arrived in Belgium. Then it all went pear-shaped. He's in Otisville, not exactly high security, so he's not regarded as a high risk. The Chinese government didn't kick up much of a stink after his arrest, and they haven't offered to swap him, so he can't be that valuable. As he's still in jail I'm assuming that he didn't have anything of importance to divulge, as his 'get out of jail' card, otherwise he would be living on a ranch in Montana.

NO..... People get executed over in the US for some crimes. When you truly appreciate and value what I think is meant here, then you need to equate the punishment with the crime. So far, you are well short of those expectations, so the crimes continue.
I remember back in the 1990's how Hughes Communications wanted to use cheap Chinese launch facilities to put their satellites in orbit but the Chinese couldn't get a damn thing off the ground as it seemed like every rocket they launched went out of control and had to be remotely detonated. In comes Hughes Communications who sees an amazing opportunity to profit from cheap Chinese launches for their satellites and they give the Chinese companies-who we know are controlled by the state security services-the algorithms and software needed to stabilize rockets and keep them on a specific trajectory. The problem is those same algorithms and software for commercial satellite launches can be applied to intercontinental ballistic missile launches also. So you have an American corporation blinded by greed (they don't pass off the savings from launches to their customers) giving away technology to Chinese firms that is then passed on to their military ballistic missile programs to more accurately target American cities with their ICBM's. The biggest problem American companies have is their absolute greed and avarice. Driven by shareholders always looking to maximize their bottom line no matter the cost the CEO's of big American tech firms cave and do what makes them the most money without regard for the consequences to American national security!
Complete lie ! Since the Korea War after the communist took over China, US already imposed strict export control on sensitive parts and equipment to that country. If you think that the US Hughes Communication would give the Chinese space agents tools on rocket technology , it would be your imagination.
I like the part where Marco Rubio says we need to counter China in technology because it’s importance to American dominance but voted no on the CHIPS Act. Comical.
Did he vote no? I listened to the verbal arguments for and against, before the vote. I was astonished by how many voted against it, amd their arguments.
It's because he can't give President Biden the win. He would rather prolong the problem so he can continue getting cheap publicity like this from CNBC.
@@Leshic2 The Tea Baggers voted against The Chip Act because they want to make President Biden a one term President. They voted against The Stimulus Bill...then got on Twitter and took credit for the the perks that came to the parts of the country that they represented. Unreal!
Is it just me or is something about the GE worker feel kinda fishy? My husband works in a similar industry and we’ve had to cancel multiple vacation ideas because of potential risks. It’s so weird that in a field where security is so important that the worker would just completely forget to tell GE 🤨
The Chinese spy disguised the presentation as one only about public knowledge. The GE employee was tempted by the free staff and didn't think it would do much harm by sharing public knowledge (and didn't think that he was being watched). But he definitely violated the company policy by not telling his supervisor about the meeting, which is why he was fired by GE.
There will come a time when companies will be reluctant to hire chinese in sensitive positions because of such incidents. Hardworking genuine people are going to get effected .
This guy stores all his pic and files on the Apple server. Including all chat histories and pictures about his job. I wish we could have more smart guys like him work for the Chinese government.
He got the impression that an iPhone and iCloud can't be hacked. I don't have an iCloud acount for the simple reason... if people can hack the DOD computers, someone can hack Apple. I keep my taxes and investments on an external drive off line.
The law has to be tough for those who share sensitive information with other countries. I will recommend at least 40 years prison in federal prison and confiscated all their belongings. As for the foreigner, i will recommend life sentences for spying.
That is not possible. US spies get caught just as much as it's counterpart. And they were usually traded back. So if you do life sentences on the foreign spy, they'll do the same to your spy as well. And we all know that is death sentence for the US part.
Executives aren't as concerned because they are incentivized by money. If Executives make decisions that allow for American technology to be stolen by the Chinese (gaining market access by "sharing") as long as there are no consequences they won't change.
Funny how these tech companies are trying to play victims when they are the ones who are unwilling to pay taxes to help fund better STEM education in America. Then they also complain about America having a lack of tech workers when they were the ones who made this happen. I say this is karma for these tech companies.
Shortsighted private greed is why we should not be fooled into allowing corporations and their executives to drive public policy. They will sell us out when they see profit.
@@doujinflip This greed is what caused China's rise in the first place. US companies moved all their manufacturing to China so they wouldn't have to pay the wages of US workers, allowing China to become a global leader in manufacturing virtually everything.
Thin line between spying and networking. Before I entered my current medical profession, I did A LOT of reconnaissance to learn the field, the language, the way people in the field think. If I ever want to do international work, I have to be careful to not do the same thing on that level. I could see how a country might get the wrong idea about what I'm trying to do. Medicine seems to be innocuous enough but there are things (antibiotic regiments, etc) that could be considered proprietary info. I'm glad this video is making this topic top of mind. So much to think about.
you're unfit to be a medical professional if you think gatekeeping antibiotic regimens for political purposes is in any way ethical. you're basically saying "Let's let other countries' people (civilians who have done nothing wrong) die because they don't have our proprietary info on how to treat this disease"
The fact that we get free videos from CNBC on UA-cam is priceless, keeping the education and knowledge alive. 🙏🙏🙏 May I also remind you the fact that our Native American population in our motherland, the Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland, the Continent of Europe was around 25 millions.

It is a shocking sad truth.. Speaking of Native American people who have not occupied an inch of European land, or slaughtered a single European in Europe; while European Colonizers have occupied both North & South America lands and terminated 99.9% of Natives population. Speaking of Europe which is actually a huge livable Continent with 45 nations. Russia alone is a ginormous nation which occupies nearly half of Europe with a relatively small population. Nearly half of mainland Asia, from Siberia to Far-East Asia also is inside Russia. By the way, the "land grab" is more of the same in Asia-Pacific region where European Colonizers such as Britain and Russia have already Colonized half of Asia, stretching from Australia/New Zealand, to Siberia/Far-East, all in Asia-Pacific region.

In other words, all it takes is to create an artificial environment where Native people of the Colonized land remain poor, weak, powerless and their population at the bare minimum.

Fun fact: the government cannot have remote backdoor access to your physical devices but just requires a subpoena to access your online accounts including iCloud, Google, etc. That is technically stored on Apple's property, not your own and thus has to be provided to law enforcement with a court order. The only real way to keep your data safe is to encrypt it in your own hardware. If they want to get at it they have to physically confiscate the hardware and try to crack it (which is entirely possible but infinitely harder for them). The US isn't the only government that enforces this either.

I find it odd that politicians worry about certain sectors but other sectors such as: food companies, agricultural farms, land, homes, and other things can be owned by Chinese companies or nationals with no problems. I guess these aren't considered a national "security risk".
I went to the spy museum in dc and there were all types of spy cases involving agricultural farms,(our corn) food (Oreo cookie white cream) and a bunch of others I can’t recall
We also would like to have a series on American spying and got caught in other countries. We also would like to have a series on America doing the regime change to install puppet govt and to loot resources in countries around the world. We also want to have a series on america illegally occupying islands, destroying countries and polluting the lands like the case of Okinawa, Marshall island, and Diego Grasias islands. We also would like to have a series on america setting up bioweapon labs around the world. That would be very interesting.
Dear CNBC. Your report was fascinating, well produced, and enjoyable. Thank you. I often wonder if it would be prudent not to reveal the mistakes spies made to allow their capture. I wonder also about revealing the methods that were used to catch the spies? It isn't unreasonable to imagine criminals learning from watching police investigation documentaries. The 'spies' can also learn from these revelations. I've never seen Chinese or Russian expositions of their own intelligence gathering methods. As much as I enjoy these shows, I'd be willing to do without them if that's what it took to ensure our collective security. Thanks. :)
Do you think the owners of NBC or any large media company for that matter, actually care about the United States or our sovereignty? They are the ones pushing globalism and no borders and aiding in subverting our government on behalf of their tribe.
It would be so fulfilling and gratifying to serve my country and to know and safe guard its secrets but the level of stress of always looking over your shoulder and never being able to trust any person that comes into your life would be tough. My job can be stressful but I at least get to go home and take a break from it. Cheers to everyone in the US intelligence industry!

One should assume that every Chinese national in the U.S. is spying or is willing to spy given a financial incentive. This includes Chinese college students at U.S. universities.
It is beyond absurd that a company like Microsoft never (have) created a SAFE email client version, one in which it simply would not be POSSIBLE to open up and activate actual, actually executively functioning software (among which also: viruses and ransomware), which since the inception of email has been possible in a covert manner, meaning without any consent or knowledge of the owner or user themselves.

Exactly they don't tell you that part that they be spying on people and setting up catastrophes in order to frame somebody for a crime they provoke you into doing
It is a shame. I am Asian with big dreams to work in Boeing or GE, and these Chinese spies will probably affect recruiters in considering my application to go work in their companies.
Not really so many researchers in these areas are asian - perhaps if you wear a T Shirt of Xi Jinping to work they night be a bit worried but even then the Americans would be too PC to mention it
Once you made a relationship with a Chinese Company... Once you've established in the Chinese Market...They will play that. Well said James Olson, which is why I am very careful making business with Chinese suppliers here in the Philippines. So do something United States of America because I have no plans to speak Mandarin in the future, nor does the people of our two countries.

It's not just some engine fan blades, it's decades of research in material science, high speed computing, aerodynamics, and manufacturing technologies behind those blades. It's hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars invested in fundamental science research, industrial manufacturing, and talent development. It's also a differentiator of military capabilities in modern warfare.

As a retired former highly cleared Aerospace/Defense Engineer and Program/Project Manager, I know from personal experience the US intelligence community stress tests individual and program security through role play and other functional means. My career spanned the Toshiba submarine prop effort and Walker spy cases, among a handful of others. I personally was approached by an agent in a public social gathering of many employees pretending to be just an average curious citizen asking questions about my work. I suspected something fishy about his interest and immediately reported the adverse incident to my program security office. Their response and reaction was telling, in that my notice was not unexpected. It was a stress test!
Smart.
great to hear that thesd stress tests happen and that employees are tested.

The fact that the GE employee was approached by the FBI prior to meeting the spy without telling anyone where he was going proves he was already prepared to hand over the information.

When I lived in Kenya I once bumped into a Chinese spy. She was a young and very good looking girl. There were a number of things that made me suspicious. She did not want me to take photos of her, she wanted to know if I had any local political contacts, she worked as a Chinese language teacher at a local college yet drove and expensive 4x4 and had top notch camera equipment and her pervious assignment was in Tibet. I straight up asked if she was a spy you should have seen her face !
You are another Chinese actor !
whoaa lol
The chinese are very serious about this place. How serious? their diplomats have an unofficial office in a chinese restaurant. Its next door the us embassy here. Also the chinese embassy is across the road from kenyan defence headquarters. They bought and built in the most strategic places. Office blocks, apartments and warehouses. Not to sell, they are the new landlords. They bought city hall a long time ago. They build 20 floor apartments on one acre of land and 900 idivudual studio units.
US are struggling to compete in Renewable energy because their dollars are stuck crude oil and gas, EV with Chinese brands are doing better because Chinese currency is not stuck in crude oil and gas. EV cars will be on many roads in the next 20 years because, borrowing dollars to buy crude and gas based energy is unsustainable.
As for Chinese technologists, may be, they are stealing ideas before they reach American heads. However, 250,000 Chinese stem graduates vs 6 million American stem graduates every year may tell a different story regarding who is innovating in tech and who is not.
She went to Kenya to spy...you must be a highly trained CIA top agent! What on earth is she spying on in Africa?
It is kinda frustrating to know decades of R&D payed for by taxpayers can just be stolen like that.

I’m an American who lived in China from 2004 to 2020. I had a simple job as a teacher. Because I flew a lot I earned status with an American airline that led to lots of upgrades to business class to & from Shanghai. Over the years I lost track of how many Americans were getting paid to travel to China to give presentations about their “field of expertise,” - from executives in the banking & real estate sector to professors at top US universities & doctors from well known hospitals. I heard their stories about how they were wined & dined, offered gifts like second homes in China and so much more.

Bro, how did you survive during the lockdown? Lived in Sh from 2009 till 2017 and I'm super glad my last memories of the place ended then.
In my experience with business and manufacturing, anytime that you partnership with the Chinese, they will work with you until they can fully manufacture your product to their advantage. Then they all of a sudden, "Have no need to proceed with your partnership because financial needs have changed." They cut ties, then manufacture your (now their) product for the Chinese market, then to sell to the world. You gave the Chinese the plans, they use cheap labor to profit and then put you out of business.
100%

This is the reason I push so hard for good security practices in my day to day work. Unfortunately I often encounter people that only focus on the business side of building software and they are willing to take shortcuts to speed up development time, at the cost of security best practices. In my opinion, we are more vulnerable than most people realize.
I work in one of the sensitive sectors mentioned in this video. Many of my colleagues are from China. Once in a while, theses folks resign overnight after working for several years in the field. In all these cases, they moved back to China working for competition with BIG paychecks.I wonder how much secrets they were carrying with them

Thanks for sharing your stories.
I worked in semiconductor equipment, and about 13yrs ago, we suddenly locked out all employees there on Ch work VISAs, from sensitive servers that helped IP.
We had a Chinese PhD engineer who complained about needing access to these to do their job.
This espionage has been going on for well over 10yrs. Closer to 20yrs.
I think industries must work together with the government to come up with solid action plans to combat R&D theft but one good way is to design many different proto types of a product or software- with one been real and the rest fakes. Use the fake designs as bait to both catch and defer would be thieves.
I retired from a big company that prefers to remain anonymous. As part of our final hiring process, each employee was subject to a police background check, a financial background check, sign a non disclosure agreement and non compete clause. All that because we handled documents from large corporations, government and the military. We just looked like any other reprographic and sign making firm but we had some pretty special clearances. I was a confidential and restricted clearance document printer. Handled some pretty amazing blueprints, maps and tech manuals. Had one client who offered me a decommissioned compressor blade bank assembly so I can turn it into a fantastic coffee table design element under a round class table when they found out my unique free time furniture making skills.
A spy who kept a calendar, on iCloud? That makes no sense. Especially if you are top level.

We would like to have a series on Chinese spying and US counter intelligence
I would say US is doing not so good in counter-intelligence efforts. China's spies have been able to steal sensitive information from US. But vice versa, CIA activities in China seem to be a failure. CIA struggled to operate their espionage network in China. There are literally countless CIA HUMINT sources going missing (either killed or captured), some even turned into double agents by Chinese counter-intelligence elements.
Jeez do we need another hour or two of TV about Trump and his corrupted family.
Yes, tell them exactly what they're doing wrong so they can do better.
It is the US that is doing the most spying and data stealing in the world!
The world knows this fact from Edward Snowden, Julian Assange, Jack Tazzia who speak the truth to the world !
We would like to have a series on Chinese spying removed.
The reporter asked the guy at the start of the video "How does the US win this espionage war" and imho that question shows he doesn't understand the basics of espionage. In game theory the espionage game is an "infinite game" and that is a game where not all of the players are known, not all of the rules are known(or are basically made up as the game progresses) and the basic objective for players in that game is just to continue the game. A "finite game" is one where the players are known, rules are known and there is some target game state, target date, target amount resources, etc determines the end of the game. A player doesn't win or lose in an infinite game theory game but instead only loses the will and or resources to continue the game. For example, the US did not win the cold war and instead the USSR lost the will and resources to continue when they fell.
Well observed

Obviously the FBI needs a lot more funding and power so they can study the movements of all Chinese nationals, including international students. The US is home to many CCP members and their family.
They always do their job, or at least try to do so. They just rarely make it public. With good reason - more often than not, a finished operation, if revealed, would also reveal sensitive information about other, ongoing operations, and potentially compromise those.
@@a0flj0 Really? Like chase manufactured evidence? They have been doing a lot more of that...

Back in the day i was an independent agent in the aerospace defence industry. I had to get security clearance to be involved in a particular project. I knew what it meant the 1st day i entered the classified secured departmsnt of that corporation. I did need to take the sensor support structure out od the facility and i believe i was given 24 hrs or 48hrs and understood 100% that the blue prints and item were classified and could not be shown to anyone. I placex my bids to manufacture the piece and soon after all the documents and blue prints were destroyed by myself to protect the technology.
A few years after doing those projects i noticed the company had taken my advice on a specific procedure and it becams a mandats on some orders from suppliers (no comlensation given to myself but i take 100% credit for it)
We are in cold War with china and Russia we need to step up our security and check anyone who is loyal to the communist party and prosecuted them to the fullest extent when we capture one of theirs they get a few years in prison when the chinese communist party catches one of our assets they get executed so you see how difficult for us to win ?
His cultivation of the contact was seemingly professional but his travel habits were reckless beyond description. For him to utilize iCloud with personal information and have that on his field phone is just unbelievable. It's almost on purpose?
Maybe, he did say work family money relationships arent going the right way.
Maybe he's looking to get martyred, and get a hero's welcome and a huge payout when he gets out of us prison.
I wouldn't think so. I tend to disagree (slightly) with Olsen's assessment of Xiu's tradecraft. Having received the register, he quickly realised that his operation was going to land him a very big prize, and this would result in praise (and almost certainly a promotion) from his superior. Along with this, there would inevitably be a pay rise, maybe even bonuses, that would go some way to ease his financial situation. I guess an initial success of this magnitude boosted his confidence, clouded his judgment, and he dropped his guard, thinking that, once he copied the hard drive and delivered it to HQ, he was on his way up. Bringing his personal phone to the meeting was a second level error. He should have at least left it with another agent who should have been monitoring the meeting from a safe distance. The rule is to carry a mobile phone with you loaded with information on it that would support your cover. He failed to deploy a counter intelligence team to scope out the meeting place. His embassy would have provided one. This measure would have saved him.
Olsen was correct in that Xiu did everything by the book, using classic tradecraft (Moscow Rules, as we used to call it), until he arrived in Belgium. Then it all went pear-shaped. He's in Otisville, not exactly high security, so he's not regarded as a high risk. The Chinese government didn't kick up much of a stink after his arrest, and they haven't offered to swap him, so he can't be that valuable. As he's still in jail I'm assuming that he didn't have anything of importance to divulge, as his 'get out of jail' card, otherwise he would be living on a ranch in Montana.

I remember back in the 1990's how Hughes Communications wanted to use cheap Chinese launch facilities to put their satellites in orbit but the Chinese couldn't get a damn thing off the ground as it seemed like every rocket they launched went out of control and had to be remotely detonated. In comes Hughes Communications who sees an amazing opportunity to profit from cheap Chinese launches for their satellites and they give the Chinese companies-who we know are controlled by the state security services-the algorithms and software needed to stabilize rockets and keep them on a specific trajectory. The problem is those same algorithms and software for commercial satellite launches can be applied to intercontinental ballistic missile launches also. So you have an American corporation blinded by greed (they don't pass off the savings from launches to their customers) giving away technology to Chinese firms that is then passed on to their military ballistic missile programs to more accurately target American cities with their ICBM's. The biggest problem American companies have is their absolute greed and avarice. Driven by shareholders always looking to maximize their bottom line no matter the cost the CEO's of big American tech firms cave and do what makes them the most money without regard for the consequences to American national security!

The Chinese spy disguised the presentation as one only about public knowledge.

But he definitely violated the company policy by not telling his supervisor about the meeting, which is why he was fired by GE.

That is not possible. US spies get caught just as much as it's counterpart. And they were usually traded back. So if you do life sentences on the foreign spy, they'll do the same to your spy as well. And we all know that is death sentence for the US part.
Executives aren't as concerned because they are incentivized by money. If Executives make decisions that allow for American technology to be stolen by the Chinese (gaining market access by "sharing") as long as there are no consequences they won't change.

Thin line between spying and networking. Before I entered my current medical profession, I did A LOT of reconnaissance to learn the field, the language, the way people in the field think. If I ever want to do international work, I have to be careful to not do the same thing on that level. I could see how a country might get the wrong idea about what I'm trying to do. Medicine seems to be innocuous enough but there are things (antibiotic regiments, etc) that could be considered proprietary info. I'm glad this video is making this topic top of mind. So much to think about.
Even more so if your name is David, and you're from Canada,
and you're in China.
The Chinese will contact you soon to work with them, the FBI will wait for your move.
you're unfit to be a medical professional if you think gatekeeping antibiotic regimens for political purposes is in any way ethical. you're basically saying "Let's let other countries' people (civilians who have done nothing wrong) die because they don't have our proprietary info on how to treat this disease"
As thin the earth’s core.

May I also remind you the fact that our Native American population in our motherland, the Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland, the Continent of Europe was around 25 millions.
Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION! A shocking sad truth. 😔
In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return it to rightful owners Native American people.
Notorious global cardinal crimes the Christian West has committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask? 😔
hell yeah!
My jaw dropped as I read Native American population in their motherland, the Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland, the Continent of Europe was around 25 millions.
Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION.. It is a shockingly sad truth 😔
It is a shocking sad truth.. Speaking of Native American people who have not occupied an inch of European land, or slaughtered a single European in Europe; while European Colonizers have occupied both North & South America lands and terminated 99.9% of Natives population.
Speaking of Europe which is actually a huge livable Continent with 45 nations. Russia alone is a ginormous nation which occupies nearly half of Europe with a relatively small population. Nearly half of mainland Asia, from Siberia to Far-East Asia also is inside Russia.
By the way, the "land grab" is more of the same in Asia-Pacific region where European Colonizers such as Britain and Russia have already Colonized half of Asia, stretching from Australia/New Zealand, to Siberia/Far-East, all in Asia-Pacific region.
@@thykingdomcome7238 "Slavery, Colonialism and Colonization" are all evil things done by evildoers. 😔
In the case of Native Americans; centuries long systematic effort to keep them weak with a relatively small, marginalized & disenfranchised population, so that they would never be able to reclaim their vast bountiful motherland, ever again.
In other words, all it takes is to create an artificial environment where Native people of the Colonized land remain poor, weak, powerless and their population at the bare minimum.
Like I said, the sad truth is the fact that the plight of indigenous Native Americans are the most marginalized and forgotten case in history.

Speaking of which, Russia occupied vast resource rich Siberia to Far East ever since 17th & 18th century, while Anglo British, sailing halfway around the world from jolly old England, took over giant resourceful landmass of Australia & New Zealand in 18th & 19th century; all in Asia-Pacific, while Native people of Asia-Pacific region are left with and quarreling over a few tiny islands in South China Sea while Anglo Australia/New Zealand have already claimed big chunks of nearby Antarctica.

The Chinese targets in every field from medicine to robotics must be trained to be aware of Chinese tactics and how to REPORT attempts to gain influence. Any offers to teach or make presentations in China seem to be the 1st step.

14:45 “he used an icloud account….that the prosecutors were able to access” I thought icloud was private and secure. Hm, well there you go.
Fun fact: the government cannot have remote backdoor access to your physical devices but just requires a subpoena to access your online accounts including iCloud, Google, etc. That is technically stored on Apple's property, not your own and thus has to be provided to law enforcement with a court order.
The only real way to keep your data safe is to encrypt it in your own hardware. If they want to get at it they have to physically confiscate the hardware and try to crack it (which is entirely possible but infinitely harder for them).
The US isn't the only government that enforces this either.
Not if a court has ordered for it to be handed over. How naive are you? 😂

I find it odd that politicians worry about certain sectors but other sectors such as: food companies, agricultural farms, land, homes, and other things can be owned by Chinese companies or nationals with no problems. I guess these aren't considered a national "security risk".

Dear CNBC.
Your report was fascinating, well produced, and enjoyable. Thank you.
I often wonder if it would be prudent not to reveal the mistakes spies made to allow their capture. I wonder also about revealing the methods that were used to catch the spies?
It isn't unreasonable to imagine criminals learning from watching police investigation documentaries. The 'spies' can also learn from these revelations. I've never seen Chinese or Russian expositions of their own intelligence gathering methods.
As much as I enjoy these shows, I'd be willing to do without them if that's what it took to ensure our collective security.
Thanks. :)
Just like China lied and said they don't steal and their Market is open lol
Do you think the owners of NBC or any large media company for that matter, actually care about the United States or our sovereignty? They are the ones pushing globalism and no borders and aiding in subverting our government on behalf of their tribe.
no, sources and methods might be divulged... making it harder(or deadly) for foreign assets.
@@paladro That's an extension of what I'm saying.
Like most propaganda this was very well produced and managed... Almost like CIA and NSA helped with the production 🤔🤔🤔
The companies allowed it, so this is the result of greed. A greed to profit, which resoluted into a bigger loss in the long run.
It would be so fulfilling and gratifying to serve my country and to know and safe guard its secrets but the level of stress of always looking over your shoulder and never being able to trust any person that comes into your life would be tough.

It is beyond absurd that a company like Microsoft never (have) created a SAFE email client version, one in which it simply would not be POSSIBLE to open up and activate actual, actually executively functioning software (among which also: viruses and ransomware), which since the inception of email has been possible in a covert manner, meaning without any consent or knowledge of the owner or user themselves. Nothing would be more simple than to write actually safe versions, version that simply CANNOT execute anything on an operational level. I would think we all could hold MS directly responsible.
