Since at least 2017, federal officials have been investigating Chinese land purchases near critical infrastructure, closing a high-profile regional consulate believed to be a hotbed of Chinese spies, and obstructing efforts to plant listening devices near sensitive military and government facilities.

Among the most alarming findings, the FBI uncovered that Chinese-made Huawei equipment atop cell towers near US military bases in the rural Midwest could disrupt US nuclear arsenal communications. According to multiple sources familiar with the matter, the FBI determined the equipment was capable of capturing and disrupting highly restricted Defense Department communications, including those used by US Strategic Command, which oversees the country’s nuclear weapons.
