The head of the FBI, Christopher Wray, and the head of Britain's domestic intelligence agency, the MI5, Ken McCallum, came together in July 2022 to warn against the "massive" threat that both intelligence services consider China presents. One of the greatest challenges to Western economies is China's theft of Western technology. China's Ministry of State Security (MSS) uses its regional bureaus, according to Wray, to "key in specifically on the innovation of certain Western companies it wants to ransack.... companies everywhere from big cities to small towns -- from Fortune 100s to start-ups.... We've even caught people affiliated with Chinese companies out in the U.S. heartland, sneaking into fields to dig up proprietary, genetically modified seeds, which would have cost them nearly a decade and billions in research to develop themselves”: Christopher Wray, FBI Director, address to London business leaders on National Security Threats Posed by the People's Republic of China, MI5 HQ, July 6, 2022. There is also a massive problem with academia, where Chinese scientists have been found to filter back vital research to the motherland. Clearly there is a major philosophical problem here coming from the West’s inane acceptance of multiculturalism, something China has no time for at all; something these security directors dare not discuss. Diversity is a major security weakness, not a strength.
