WASHINGTON – The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is out with two Hollywood-style-produced videos aimed at recruiting Chinese dissidents to spy for the United States.
Both videos are approximately three minutes in length and are in Mandarin. The goal is for the CIA to recruit Chinese spies who are looking to help the United States.
The second video ends with the phrase “Heaven helps those who help themselves. Your fate is in your control.”

CIA Director John Ratcliffe is confident the videos will get past “The Great Firewall of China” and be seen by the right people in Mainland China. (CIA)
Ratcliffe said he’s confident the videos will get past “The Great Firewall of China” and be seen by the right people in mainland China. The CIA previously released Mandarin-language instructions on how to connect with the agency through the dark web, which reached millions of people. Ratcliffe says the agency’s line is open. Now, he wants people in China to come forward, while understanding their conversations will remain confidential.
“We’re moving forward and putting more distance between the United States and China early on in the Trump administration and that’s going to continue,” Ratcliffe said.
