The United States has recently designed a program aimed at creating an economic war against China and other global competitors. This program, overseen by "Tom Rakosan," senior advisor to the U.S. Secretary of Defense, involves the deployment of officers under informal cover who will operate as traders or private sector employees.
Details of the Spy Program
This plan seeks to establish a covert arm in line with the broader campaign of America's economic war. Informed sources say that this program is in the planning stage and has not yet reached implementation. In this regard, experts from various branches of the armed forces and retired officials from the CIA have been invited to collaborate on this plan.

The U.S. Department of Defense has denied the existence of such a plan in response to this report, and Jacob Bliss, deputy spokesperson for the Pentagon, stated that these claims are completely untrue and that those who disseminate such information are either mistaken or deliberately misleading.
History of America's Economic War
The previous U.S. administration, led by Donald Trump, utilized economic warfare as a key tool in its governance and policymaking. This administration imposed tariffs and export controls and sought to strengthen the core of its industrial-defense base by investing in critical resources and technologies. Additionally, gathering economic intelligence was among the major priorities of the Trump administration.
Michael Ellis, deputy director of the CIA, recently mentioned in a speech that the United States is expanding its espionage activities against China, particularly targeting Chinese companies active in areas such as artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and semiconductors. These actions reflect changes in the CIA's priorities and a greater focus on economic threats posed by China.
Although U.S. intelligence agencies have always collected information from key Chinese companies, the public announcement of the CIA's shift in priorities by Michael Ellis is an unusual move and may indicate rising tensions between the two major powers of the world.
