WASHINGTON – The CIA has released two professionally made videos to attract Chinese dissidents to work as spies for the U.S.
Both videos are around three minutes long and presented in Mandarin. The aim is to enlist individuals in China willing to assist the United States.

“A key duty of the CIA is to gather intelligence for the president and other policymakers,” CIA Director John Ratcliffe shared exclusively with Fox News. “One way we achieve that is by recruiting assets to help us acquire secrets.”
The videos are currently available on various CIA social media platforms, including YouTube, Facebook, Telegram, Instagram, and X. The first video targets senior officials within the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) who U.S. intelligence suspects may be open to discussions. Many of these leaders witness their peers being dismissed, imprisoned, or even disappearing entirely. The video concludes with the message, “Take control of your fate.”
Each video is about three minutes long and aims to recruit Chinese individuals wanting to support the U.S. (CIA)

“This video explains to them how they can reach out to the CIA through our encrypted website and can improve their own safety and that of their families,” Ratcliffe noted.

During his time as director of national intelligence under the first Trump administration, Ratcliffe stated that China was the U.S.’s most prominent adversary in various sectors: economically, politically, and militarily.
The second video targets lower-ranking officers of the CCP, who Ratcliffe described as having limited career advancement opportunities, with their roles primarily benefiting the elite of the CCP.

Ratcliffe expressed confidence that the videos would navigate “The Great Firewall of China,” allowing the intended viewers in Mainland China to see them. He mentioned a previous test video in Mandarin that successfully reached millions. He encourages individuals in China to come forward, assuring them that their discussions will remain private.
“We are making progress and working to distance the United States from China early in the Trump administration, and this will continue,” Ratcliffe stated.
