(Worthy News) – FBI Director Christopher Wray said intellectual property theft campaigns against the United States by the Chinese government, including economic espionage aimed at U.S. government-funded research, has the “perverse effect” of U.S. taxpayers funding China’s rise.

Wray, who has served as FBI director following former FBI chief James Comey’s firing in 2017, made the comments during an appearance before the Democratic-led House Homeland Security Committee’s hearing on worldwide threats on Thursday.

“The Chinese view themselves as in an international talent war, and they recognize that American innovation and research is the envy of the world and, frankly, the envy of China,” Wray told lawmakers. “And when they can’t innovate and research themselves, they send people over here — in some cases, legitimately, but, in many cases, not — who engage in intellectual property theft, taking information, American research, and bringing it back to China to advance China’s national security goals, which has the perverse effect, since a lot of this research is taxpayer funded, has essentially the perverse effect of having American taxpayers funding China’s advancement at our expense.” [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
