## Resource

When Americans think about Chinese espionage, they usually picture spy balloons, cyberattacks, or stolen military secrets. But some of the most concerning operations may be happening much closer to home. Federal investigators have uncovered secret police stations, influence campaigns targeting local politicians, surveillance of dissidents, and networks tied to everything from intellectual property theft to fentanyl trafficking. Investigative author Peter Schweizer says these are not isolated incidents. They’re part of a much broader strategy—one aimed at gaining influence, stealing technology, and weakening America without firing a shot.
