Question China cripples CIA operations, kills informants

China cripples CIA operations, kills informants
By ASSOCIATED PRESS - Published: May 20, 2017
RE: https://www.stripes.com/news/pacific...0#.WSLv1VTyuM8

WASHINGTON — The New York Times is reporting that the Chinese government "systematically dismantled" CIA spying operations in China starting in late 2010. The Times reports that the Chinese government killed or imprisoned at least a dozen CIA sources over the next two years.

The newspaper cites 10 current and former U.S. officials, who describe the intelligence breach as one of the worst in decades. They spoke on condition of anonymity.

The report published Saturday says U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies scrambled to stem the damage, but were bitterly divided over the cause of the breach. Some investigators were convinced there was a mole within the CIA, while others believed the Chinese had hacked the covert system the CIA used to communicate with its foreign sources.

The CIA declined to comment.
