Chinese hackers preparing to ‘wreak havoc’ on American citizens, communities, FBI director warns

FBI Director Christopher Wray is set to warn lawmakers on Capitol Hill Wednesday that Chinese hackers are preparing to "wreak havoc and cause real-world harm to American citizens and communities."

Wray and other government officials are set to testify in front of the House Select Committee at 11 a.m. for a hearing titled "The Chinese Community Party Cyber Threat to the American Homeland and National Security."

"There has been far too little public focus on the fact that People’s Republic of China hackers are targeting our critical infrastructure -- our water treatment plants, our electrical grid, our oil and natural gas pipelines, our transportation systems. And the risk that poses to every American requires our attention – now," Wray is expected to tell lawmakers in an excerpt from his remarks.

"China’s hackers are positioning on American infrastructure in preparation to wreak havoc and cause real-world harm to American citizens and communities, if or when China decides the time has come to strike," he will add. .............

The Chi-coms, Russians, North Koreans, Iranians, and organized criminal organizations have been wreaking havoc for the past 20+ years.

Despite the decades of Chi-com espionage and intellectual property theft, we still buy solar panels, network switches, and iPhones from them.

Is it that America is blinded by the mirage of cheap labor and a billion person consumer market, or, is it a matter of keeping your friends close, and your enemies closer?

I think it's a matter of the rampant corruption that continues by those in our gov't who profit.
