The CIA has released a short recruitment video targeting potential informants in China. The video provides step-by-step guidance on how to contact the agency securely while emphasizing strict precautions against surveillance.
Posted on the CIA’s official X account (formerly Twitter), the two-minute video includes Chinese subtitles to reach its intended audience. The video clearly states the agency’s objective: “The CIA wants to know the truth about China, and we are looking for people who know and can tell the truth.” The agency seeks informants with insights into China’s government, military, and economic activities.
The video also guides viewers on submitting tips through a secure form on the CIA website. However, it does not mention any payment or benefits for participants. The focus remains on security and confidentiality.
Guidance for Potential Informants
The CIA repeatedly stresses operational security in the video. Viewers are instructed to:
- Avoid using personal devices
- Delete browsing history
- Use tools to mask IP addresses and locations
The video concludes with a call to action: “Contact us securely.” This emphasizes the importance of anonymity and careful communication.
Public Reaction
