Bloomberg CIA Apologia Accidentally Vindicates Chinas Strict Domestic Policies by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!
Listen to a reading of this article:
In a new article promoting the Central Intelligence Agencys new mission center focused on China and the need to pour more resources into countering Beijing, Bloomberg also accidentally makes the case that many of the Chinese governments controversial domestic policies are entirely justified and completely necessary.
Citing anonymous government officials alongside bloodthirsty psychopath John Bolton, the article "China Is Evading United States Spies - and the White House Is Worried" argues that "a stronger pivot to China can not come soon enough" and reminds readers of last years House Intelligence Committee report which claimed that "Absent a significant realignment of resources, the United States government and intelligence community will fail to achieve the outcomes required to enable continued United States competition with China on the global stage."
But in their efforts to justify the need for greater focus on espionage campaigns in China, the articles multiple authors explain that the United States intelligence cartel has been floundering on that front precisely because of the authoritarian policies which western institutions have been aggressively criticizing China for implementing.

"Xis sweeping efforts to change Chinas domestic politics and consolidate his control also have taken a toll on American intelligence," the article says. "The shift from a system of "collective" leadership under former Presidents Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao toward one dominated by Xi means that the Central Intelligence Agency has had to go from focusing on the inner circles of seven or even nine top leaders to, effectively, just one."
"Chinese academia, the media and civil society organizations are all closely controlled by the government, further compounding the challenge of reporting on the country," the article adds.
"CIA officers in China face daunting challenges posed by Chinas burgeoning surveillance state, which has blanketed Chinese cities with surveillance cameras and employs sophisticated facial recognition software to track threats," claim the articles authors.
Bloomberg explains that Chinas anti-corruption measures have made it much harder to recruit CIA assets, writing, "Xis broad anti-corruption campaign, which has punished more than 1.5 million officials, has also led to greater scrutiny of Chinese officials income, making payments to potential sources far more problematic, two former officials said."
"Those efforts were detailed extensively in 2017 by the New York Times, which said as many as a dozen United States sources were executed by China, with others jailed, in what represented one of the worst breaches ever of American spying networks," the article also notes.
So Beijings anti-corruption crackdowns, widespread surveillance and strict control over Chinese society is making it harder for the CIA to undermine that nation, and now the CIA is expressing its frustration through the billionaire media. Which shows that China is acting entirely in self-defense when it implements these policies.
The agenda of western journalists become clear when they complain about how Chinas anti-corruption campaign spearheaded by Xi Jinping (whom even the CIA admits in internal documents is "not corrupt" & "does not care about money"), prevents the United States from bribing Chinese officials-

When people complain about Chinese authoritarianism and lack of transparency, what they are really complaining about is that China is defending itself against a nonstop assault from the United States-centralized empire which seeks to bring Beijing to its knees.
The heavy-handed domestic policies of United States-targeted nations like China are not morally comparable to the censorship, propaganda, secrecy, surveillance and other authoritarian measures you see in the United States and its lackey states, because United States-targeted nations are actively defending themselves against a hostile foreign aggressor who will not be content until all nations on Earth bow to its dictates.
These are not the same thing.
One is a weaker government acting defensively, the other is a globe-spanning power structure that if given the opportunity will topple your government using mass-scale psyops, espionage, special operations, color revolutions and proxy conflicts to force your nation and its people to subordinate its interests to those of the United States empire.
Sure it would be great if all the worlds populations were free to say and read and do whatever they want without government interference, but to pretend we live in a world where populations are not deprived of those freedoms in response to a nonstop assault by a global juggernaut is to live in a fantasy land.
There is a slow motion third world war underway between the United States-centralized empire and the few remaining nations which have successfully resisted its aggressive attempts to absorb them into its folds.
Nations like the United States use propaganda, censorship, secrecy and surveillance to advance those aggressions, while nations like China use them defensively. This is a fundamental difference, and to pretend it is not is to ignore the reality of the power dynamics at play.
It is so silly how the United States war machine uses the word "defense" to describe the machine by which it inflicts nonstop aggression upon the world. "Department of Defense". "The defense industry".
The United States war machine does not "defend" anything, it attacks relentlessly and maliciously.
Defense is what the nations who resist those aggressions are doing.
