Chinese agents have stepped up their efforts to influence President-elect Joe Biden’s incoming administration, a US intelligence official has said.
William Evanina, from the US Office of the Director of National Intelligence, said the Chinese were also focusing on people close to Mr Biden’s team.
Mr Evanina said it was an influence campaign “on steroids”.
Separately, a justice department official said more than 1,000 suspected Chinese agents had fled the US.
