Christopher Wray, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), said Beijing is waging a “talent war” to sustain its own tech ambitions and leveraging American taxpayer dollars to fulfill its objectives.

“So the Chinese view themselves as in an international talent war, and they recognize that American innovation and research is the envy of the world and frankly, the envy of China,” Wray said at a hearing held by the House Committee on Homeland Security on Sept. 17.
