When former Secret Service agent and current FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino posts an update, it’s usually big. But this time, it’s something else entirely. On his official FBI channel, Bongino dropped a bomb: 51 arrests, 8 city raids, and a network of Chinese agents trying to flip U.S. soldiers into traitors.

“This isn’t just espionage—it’s an attempt to hijack our military from the inside,” he warned.
From San Diego to Houston, agents carried out simultaneous raids, uncovering a complex spy operation that reads like a Tom Clancy thriller. According to Bongino, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was behind efforts to bribe, blackmail, and flip American service members into betraying national secrets—some tied to biological threats and military tech.Why It Matters More Than Ever
This isn’t the first time we’ve heard about Chinese espionage. But what makes this different, according to Bongino, is the scale and the target: the U.S. military itself.

51 agents have already been arrested in 2025 alone
More than 5,000 counterintelligence cases are active
800 new cases opened this year point to foreign infiltration at scale
“This is mission-critical. We’re seeing efforts to breach our military, our technology, even our agriculture. This goes beyond spying—it’s economic warfare,” Bongino said
