Summary

Concerns about China's espionage campaign against the United States are growing. Most recently, China has faced scrutiny following the arrest of three Chinese nationals, including one who attempted to smuggle illegal biological materials, potentially harmful to crops, into the U.S. from a university in Wuhan, China. This has sparked fears about agroterrorism. Earlier this week, Jim Lewis, a former diplomat and senior advisor at the Center for International Studies (CIS), joined host Dave Anthony to discuss China's threat to the United States and how it is targeting America on multiple fronts. He described the troubling size and scope of their espionage campaign against the U.S. and how they are using student spies, AI, surveillance, and many other tactics to undermine America. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with former diplomat Jim Lewis, allowing you to learn more about China's tactics against the U.S. These adjustments aim to enhance readability and ensure grammatical consistency.
