FBI Director: Chinese Espionage ‘Most Significant' Spy Threat Facing US

China, rather than Russia, is the "Most significant" long-term threat to the United States, FBI Director Christopher Wray said Wednesday.

During an interview with NBC's Lester Holt at the Aspen Ideas Forum, Wray said that the FBI has economic espionage investigations in all 50 states that trace back to Chinese activity.

Wray's appearance comes in the wake of two significant indictments in Russia-related investigations.

Wray acknowledged the seriousness of the Russian threat, saying that the U.S. has to deal with it "Very aggressively."

China is "Trying to position itself as the sole dominant superpower," said Wray.

"I think China from a counterintelligence perspective represents in many ways represents the broadest, most challenging, most significant threat we face as a country," he added.
