In China, systematically destroy the spies of the Central Intelligence Agency.

This is reported by The New York Times referring to US officials who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Their intelligence activities have been described as one of the worst in decades. It is still unknown what caused the largest failure of the American intelligence service.

The amount of CIA losses in China can be compared with the number of losses in the Soviet Union and Russia as a result of betrayal by CIA officer Aldrich Ames and FBI agent Robert Hansen.

Some investigators are convinced that there was a mole in the CIA, while others believe that the Chinese cracked the secret CIA system used to communicate with foreign informants.

Former senior US officials reported that at least 20 CIA sources were killed or imprisoned in China for two years.

Investigators suspect that the mole was a former CIA operative, but so far they have not been able to gather enough evidence to arrest him and now he lives in another Asian country.

The FBI and the CIA came to the conclusion that since 2013, China no longer has the opportunity to identify US agents.

At the same time, the CIA officially refused to comment on the request of journalists.

As reported by the "Observer", earlier China has put forward to US President Donald Tramp a tough ultimatum.
