Red Defection: CIA deploys new video seeking to lure Chinese soldiers to U.S. amidst PLA turmoil

The CIA deployed a new recruitment video in the Mandarin language, hoping to lure Chinese soldiers to defect amidst significant turmoil inside the People's Liberation Army where two generals have been removed by President Xi Jinping.

The new video, entitled "The Reason for Stepping Forward: To Save the Future," follows a series of videos dating to late 2024 that the Agency said have been successful in encouraging some Chinese to defect or cooperate with the United States.
