US intelligence finds it difficult to spy on China
(Baonghean.vn) - Senior US officials are frustrated by the lack of reliable intelligence on Chinese President Xi Jinping and his inner circle, Bloomberg reported, citing sources within the US government.
According to Bloomberg sources, US intelligence agencies are now having increasingly difficult time spying on Beijing, while there is an urgent need to collect intelligence on the Chinese government in the hot context of the Taiwan issue and conflicts in the security field.

It is noted that US officials attach great importance to such data in making foreign policy decisions. Referring to obstacles to the effectiveness of intelligence operations in China, Bloomberg's source cited Beijing's technical capabilities, as well as the lack of Mandarin speakers among US intelligence officers.
National Security Advisor under US President Donald Trump, Mr. John Bolton, said that the above problem has been exposed for decades./.
