CIA Invites Informers Against China In A Viral X Post – Watch | World News

The Central Intelligence Agency, the espionage arm of the United States, published a video on social media targeting people in Asia who might be informants against China. The CIA video released on X has multiple meanings as intelligence agencies secretly search for informants; one is that he is against China at all costs and the second is that he is desperate for Chinese informants.

Post X was taken from the official CIA account (@CIA) on January 15, 2026. It says in Mandarian: “This video provides all the steps to securely communicate with the Central Intelligence Agency. There are a few things to consider before and during secure communication. The CIA wants to know the truth about China; we are looking for people who know and can tell the truth.”

The post includes a 2-minute video (embedded from X’s media server) that appears to be a cinematic, spy-thriller-style training manual in Chinese aimed at potential whistleblowers or sources knowledgeable about China. It emphasizes anonymity, security, and step-by-step ways to contact the CIA without being detected.

Based on video transcript analyzed by Grok, the video states: “Themes and Recommendations in the Video: Preparation and Mindset: Consider your situation carefully before communicating. Consider whether you have valuable information (e.g., government, military, or economic matters). Weigh the risks to yourself and others. The CIA emphasizes that they protect sources and value real, verifiable intelligence. Security Precautions: Use public Wi-Fi or locations away from home/work (e.g., coffee shops, coffee shops, etc.) to prevent traceability.” Avoid using personal devices, accounts, or networks that could be tracked. Delete browsing history, use incognito modes, and avoid saving passwords. Use tools like VPNs, Tor browser, or secure proxies.

It also says: “Step-by-Step Contact Methods: Download Tor Browser: Visit torproject.org to get it. Use to access onion sites for enhanced anonymity. Create Anonymous Accounts: Create a new email (e.g. through ProtonMail or similar secure providers) or use temporary ones. Avoid linking to personal information. Access CIA Channels: Visit cia.gov/contact-cia (or onion version). Tips via secure form on site Send Information for sensitive accounts, use encrypted messaging or file-sharing tools recommended on the site: Share details such as documents, photos or descriptions CIA will evaluate and be able to securely track. Clear all traces (for example, delete accounts if possible), monitor any surveillance and await possible response.

The video repeatedly warns about the risks of surveillance in restrictive environments (hinting at China), possible hacking, and the importance of taking your time. It ends with the CIA logo and a call to action: “Contact us securely.”

The video’s visuals include dramatic scenes of people using laptops, phones and public transportation in urban environments, with blue-toned filters for a discreet feel.

This post fits the CIA’s pattern of public outreach targeting specific areas for human intelligence (HUMINT) acquisition via social media, often in multiple languages.
