Trump confirms US-China espionage
U.S. President Donald Trump backtracked from denying the existence of mutual surveillance operations between the United States and China, acknowledging in an interview with Fox News that Washington is spying on Beijing, and that Chinese President Xi Jinping is also spying on the United States. This admission comes as Washington prepares to host Xi for an anticipated visit to the United States on September 24, although Beijing has not officially confirmed the details. The statements suggest that intelligence and security competition between the two countries does not prevent ongoing political and economic dialogue, despite rising American concerns over cyberattacks and espionage, which Beijing is accused of carrying out against sensitive sectors. China denies these accusations and blames Washington for conducting espionage and cyberattacks against it. The visit coincides with ongoing trade and technological disagreements, as both sides attempt to balance covert competition with overt cooperation in the fields of economics and cybersecurity.
