China wanted to build 70ft pagoda in ‘perfect spying spot’ near US Capitol

FBI investigators say they have seen a “dramatic escalation” of Chinese espionage and claim Huawei technology ‘threat to national security’

China wanted to build a 70ft pagoda on a hill close to the Capitol in Washington DC but was stopped amid fears the “perfect spot” could be used to spy on the US government, according to leaked FBI documents.

Beijing had also reportedly been attempting to snoop on US military and government facilities using the cover of Huawei installations, according to CNN, which first published the story.
