US intelligence keeping a close eye on China, warns CIA deputy chief -

Washington: David Kohen, deputy chief of US intelligence agency CIA, warned, ‘Although the United States has withdrawn from Afghanistan, the United States will always give importance to the actions against Al-Qaeda and other terrorist organisations. But all the attention and resources of the US intelligence agencies are focused on China.’ The importance of this warning issued by Kohen increases against the background of the tensions created between the United States and China over the Taiwan issue.

One year is being completed for the irresponsible US military withdrawal from Afghanistan ordered by the Biden administration. At the same time, last week, the United States eliminated Al-Qaeda chief Al Zawahiri in a drone attack in Afghanistan. It is being claimed that the Al-Qaeda threat is still prevalent in Afghanistan. A question is also being raised about whether the military withdrawal by the Biden administration was justified.

In this scenario, David Kohen, deputy chief of the US intelligence agency CIA, clarified that the United States will always prioritise the actions against Al-Qaeda and other terrorist organisations. During the CIA meeting, Kohen warned that the priority would be identifying and countering the Chinese threats. More details regarding the meeting have not been revealed. But the other CIA officials claim that US intelligence needs more information regarding China.

Over the last few days, tension has been created between the United States and China over the Taiwan issue. The warning issued by the deputy chief of the US intelligence agency in this situation becomes important.
