The FBI has reportedly established an unprecedented clandestine intelligence-sharing and cooperative working relationship with Russian and Chinese security services since May 2025. This cooperation includes hosting Chinese Ministry of Public Security officers monthly and daily communications. The FBI is collaborating with these adversarial agencies on fugitive task forces despite concerns regarding the use of fabricated charges by China and Russia to target dissidents. This occurs amid ongoing Russian aggression in Ukraine, efforts to undermine NATO, and attempts to compromise US troops and elections. The cooperation poses counterintelligence risks, potential exposure of FBI capabilities and workflows, and may erode trust and intelligence sharing with allied services.
