Dave Anthony: 我认为中国对美国构成了多方面的威胁,不仅仅是传统的间谍活动,还包括走私生物材料等潜在的农业恐怖主义行为。中国政府可能并不想直接与美国发生冲突,但他们正在通过各种手段来削弱美国。 Jim Lewis: 我认为最近发生的中国公民试图走私生物材料的事件可能只是个别案例,但它确实反映了中国广泛的间谍活动。中国学生来美国大学学习,大学也乐于接受他们,因为他们支付全额学费。然而,中国一直在各个领域进行间谍活动,包括农业。虽然我不认为走私真菌是农业恐怖主义行为,但这种行为确实很愚蠢,而且可能造成巨大的经济损失。中国间谍活动的动机是多方面的,包括情报收集和资金外逃。他们还利用间谍气球等手段进行监视,并可能通过人工智能进行宣传。 Rich Edson: 我认为中国走私真菌到美国进行研究的行为,可能被视为潜在的农业恐怖主义行为,因为这种真菌可能对美国的农作物造成巨大的经济损失。

Navy veteran and The Heritage Foundation senior fellow Brent Sadler joins to unpack what could be fueling this military recruitment surge.
