The Department of Justice (DOJ) recently reviewed its “China Initiative” program that aims to prosecute wrongdoing to benefit Beijing, stating that it would continue to go after the Chinese regime’s criminal activities.

On the two-year anniversary of the program’s launch, the DOJ issued a statement on Nov. 16. Christopher Wray, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), said: “The Chinese Communist Party’s theft of sensitive information and technology isn’t a rumor or a baseless accusation. It’s very real, and it’s part of a coordinated campaign by the Chinese government, which the China Initiative is helping to disrupt.”
