China will prevent the CIA from conducting intelligence operations in the country after CIA Director William Burns said last week the agency has made progress in rebuilding lost agent networks, a Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said on Monday.
Mao Ning, the spokeswoman, said China’s government has seen reports of comments by Mr. Burns at the Aspen Security Forum last week. Mr. Burns told the gathering that the agency has made progress in rebuilding spy networks after losing most of its recruited agents in China beginning in 2010.
Ms. Mao criticized the U.S. government for “spreading disinformation” about Chinese intelligence-gathering and cyberattacks while informing the public about “its large-scale intelligence activities targeting China.” Talisman Sabre are taking place across northern Australia from July 22 to Aug. 4 and will involve more than 30,000 military personnel from 13 nations.
Last month, the National Counterintelligence and Security Center warned American businesses that new Chinese laws, including a counterespionage law that went into effect July 1, posed risks to U.S. companies doing business in China.
