C.I.A. Reorganization to Place New Focus on China … and Climate change??

The agency will create two new mission centers, one focused on China, the other focused on emerging technology, climate change and global health.

WASHINGTON — The C.I.A. will embark on a reorganization intended to focus more on China, the agency’s director announced on Thursday.

At the heart of the effort will be a new China Mission Center meant to bring more resources to studying the country and better position officers around the world to collect information and analyze China’s activities.

The new center “will further strengthen our collective work on the most important geopolitical threat we face in the 21st Century, an increasingly adversarial Chinese government,” William J. Burns, the agency’s director, said in a statement.

Climate change? I’m not feeling safer for some reason.
