Bloomberg learned of the difficulties of US spying on Xi Jinping US

top officials do not receive enough intelligence about what is happening in Beijing, and "understand little" about the real state of affairs in the Chinese leadership, writes the agency. Xi Jinping is becoming more and more difficult to track Xi Jinping

CHINA and the country's leadership, including President Xi Jinping, are becoming increasingly difficult targets for US espionage, BLOOMBERG reports, citing former and current officials who had access to the most secret intelligence materials.

The situation is becoming less transparent, they say, as the need for intelligence grows amid a number of issues related to China, including Taiwan and advanced technology.

The lack of information became apparent after Beijing took steps that were unexpected for the US to “regain control in Hong Kong, demonstrate military force in the South China Sea, limit investigation into the origins of covid-19 , put pressure on Chinese companies that were about to list in the US , and an increase in hacker attacks,” writes Bloomberg. All this came as a surprise to the administrations of Donald Trump and Joe Biden, agency sources say.

The problems for American intelligence stem both from the fact that Beijing did significant damage to the US spy network even before Xi Jinping came to power, and from the continued shortage of people who speak Mandarin Chinese.
