A Pentagon memo obtained by The Post says Beijing is working to enhance its military capability by targeting Americans with specialized skills and training.
China’s military is conducting a sophisticated exploitation campaign designed to “fill gaps” in its capabilities by targeting current and former U.S. service members and harvesting specialized knowledge they’ve gained, a top general warned in a message obtained by The Washington Post.The document was distributed to Air Force personnel on Friday. It marks the Pentagon’s most direct attempt yet to call out and counter what U.S.
Officials declined to identify how many U.S. troops and veterans are thought to have been targeted by the Chinese, saying only that they have seen a worrisome rise in such activity. While pilots are targeted routinely, the special agent said, veterans who’ve held a variety of other roles also are in demand. He cited former aerospace ground equipment maintainers and landing-signals officers as examples, jobs that entail handling specialized equipment and guiding pilots and their aircraft to safety.
A chief concern, the special agent said, is that some will rationalize that the work is legitimate even after they discover the connection to China’s military.“We want to make sure that people understand: If it looks too good to be true, it probably is,” he said, describing the effort as “insidious.”
