As U.S.-China relations remain tense and the war in Ukraine drags on, officials warn that both the China and Russia are rapidly increasing the number of their intelligence agents in Mexico, with the possible goal of causing disruptions in the United States.

“In recent months, a Chinese spy balloon crossed the U.S., a CCP [Chinese Communist Party] military ship confronted a U.S. military ship in the Taiwan Strait, Micron was banned in China and American companies were raided, and CCP espionage efforts in Cuba are increasing,” U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) told The Epoch Times. “Additionally, Russia downed a U.S. military drone over the Black Sea, harassed American fighter jets in the Middle East, and detained an American journalist on baseless charges.”
