A battle of spies between the United States and China is heating up. The CIA is doubling down on recruiting informants in China, Iran, and North Korea. The decision comes after the agency saw success in Russia.

Five Chinese nationals have been charged. They are accused of lying to the FBI about their trip to a military site in Michigan last year.

Two new types of goods from China are now banned from U.S. soil. They’re allegedly linked to forced labor inside China.

An eyewitness testifies, estimating that thousands of foreigners are detained in China, and nearly 300 of them are Americans.
