“U.S. security officials estimate that the Chinese steal between $300 billion and $600 billion a year in U.S. intellectual property, research and development, information and technology,” David Sauer told The Epoch Times’ sister media NTD in an interview on Oct 29.
The United States has not been the only target. Sauer said China’s espionage campaign has also targeted the European Union, South Korea, and Japan, and the campaign began around 2000 to 2001.
“They’re [China] stealing that information and then integrating into their economy and their state-owned enterprises, [and] into their military. Some of their military systems look like a carbon copy of U.S. military systems,” he added.
“So it really saves them [China] a lot of time, sweat, and tears in trying to develop that technology.”
Sauer served as chief of station and deputy chief of station in multiple overseas command positions in East Asia and South Asia before his retirement.
The Chinese regime targets individuals—who can be either students, academics, or business people—and wants their cooperation to obtain certain technologies that Beijing wants to get its hands on, Sauer said.

“Now those people, I bet most of them don’t want to cooperate, they think it’s a little risky, and that they might get caught and ruin their life, or their ability to function in the United States,” he added.
“But they really don’t have a choice. They’re dealing with an authoritarian regime. And they’ll risk their future by saying no. So they don’t.” Christopher Wray , who has been the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation ( FBI ) since August 2017, said last year that the bureau opened one new Chinese counterintelligence investigation about every 10 hours. He also said that the bureau had over 2,000 counter-intelligence investigations related to China at that time.One […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
