CIA Releases New Video To Encourage Chinese To Divulge ‘Truth About China’ Authored by Michael Zhung via The Epoch Times, The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has released a new video for Chinese citizens outlining nine step-by-step methods for establishing secure contact with the agency, according to a Jan. 16 post on X. 此视频提供安全联系中央情报局的全套步骤。以下有几个在进行安全联系之前及在过程中务必考量的事项。中情局想知道中国的真相，我们正在寻找知道并能告知真相的人。 pic.twitter.com/LlLLdfA2Q4 — CIA (@CIA) January 15, 2026 In the video, the CIA says it is seeking individuals inside China who have access to information about the country’s political system and are willing to share it safely. “The CIA wants to know the truth about China,” the agency wrote in Chinese in the post. “We are looking for people who know the truth and can share it.” The latest post marks the CIA’s third video specifically targeting audiences in China. It follows two Chinese-language videos released in May, which openly encouraged Chinese Communist Party officials to provide intelligence to the United States—an unprecedented move that drew widespread attention. The new video focuses on operational security and offers nine practical steps for Chinese informants to minimize digital surveillance risks when contacting the agency. According to the CIA, the first step is to purchase a new or secondhand communication device with cash or gift cards, without providing personal identification. For used devices, the agency advises performing a full factory reset. All pre-installed software, applications, antivirus programs, browser extensions, and other programs should be removed. The second step involves connecting to public Wi-Fi at a public location to maintain anonymity. The CIA cautions informants to ensure their screens are not visible to security cameras or passersby and suggests using privacy screen protectors. The agency then advises downloading a web browser and a virtual private network (VPN) from an American or Western company and stresses that these tools should be used consistently throughout the process.
