The bureau, according to Wray, is constantly opening new cases for counter intelligence operations.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe Chinese government steals staggering volumes of information and causes deep, job-destroying damage across a wide range of industries,\u201d he continued. \u201cSo much so that as you heard, we\u2019re constantly opening new cases to counter their intelligence operations about every 12 hours or so.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Wray concluded his speech by giving a warning about the dangers of these potential acts of industrial espionage.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe harm from the Chinese government\u2019s economic espionage isn\u2019t just that its companies pull ahead based on illegally gotten technology,\u201d he stated. \u201cWhile they pull ahead, they push our companies and workers behind.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The results of the FBI\u2019s investigations have not yet been published, but the Department of Justice is in the process of reviewing its own investigation into alleged cyber attacks from China.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/u-s-ambassador-thomas-greenfield-calls-russia-ukraine-conflict-urgent-dangerous\/\">U.S. Ambassador Thomas-Greenfield Calls Russia-Ukraine Conflict \u2018Urgent, Dangerous\u2019<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FILE \u2013 FBI Director Christopher Wray speaks at a news conference at the Justice Department in Washington, on Nov. 8, 2021.
