CIA Director John Ratcliffe is declaring that China is the top priority for his agency, warning that no adversary in the history of the U.S. has posted a more formidable challenge.
"For CIA to continue successfully defending our Nation, we will build upon our strong foundation and pursue with laser-like focus the near-term priorities for CIA that our President and our country demand. China sits at the very top of that list," Ratcliffe wrote. Greg Norman is a reporter at Fox News Digital.
"No adversary in the history of our Nation has presented a more formidable challenge or a more capable strategic competitor than the Chinese Communist Party," he continued. "It is intent on dominating the world economically, militarily, and technologically, and it is aggressively trying to out-compete America in every corner of the globe."
