FBI Director Christopher Wray on June 23 singled out Beijing as the biggest threat to the United States, revealing that the law enforcement agency currently has more than 2,000 active investigations that trace back to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

Wray told Fox News that over the past decade there has been a roughly 1,300 percent increase in economic espionage probes with links to the Chinese regime. He accused the CCP of trying to interfere in U.S. politics and of spying on Fortune 100 companies—the top 100 companies in the country as ranked by their employees.
