Air Force Warns of China’s Recruitment of Disgruntled US Veterans
The U.S. Air Force warned current and former service members about recruitment efforts by Chinese aviation companies with military ties, emphasizing the threat to national security posed by the transfer of Western military knowledge. These companies, including TFASA, BCAT, and Stratos, are allegedly targeting pilots and engineers to train the People’s Liberation Army Air Force and Navy. The Air Force urged individuals to report any suspicious recruitment attempts to the Air Force Office of Special Investigations. This warning follows updated laws in allied nations increasing penalties for aiding adversaries and reflects the Pentagon’s view of China as a top strategic competitor.
