CIA Director Ratcliffe: China is CIA's Top Priority... China is Much Bigger Than Russia 
So it's why from day one people say what are your top priorities I would always 
say well China emerging technologies now I've started to say emerging 
technologies China in many ways they're one in one a and many ways they're the same uh challenge because yes 
adversaries like Russia compete with us uh other adversaries uh on the 
technological front but China's different we're the largest economy in 
the world China's the second largest 
Russia's economy is about the size of my home state of Texas so they have to 
choose where they're going to compete 
where China competes with us across the board. So, uh, and we've seen to use 
your examples of, you know, things that are important. 
If China gets a technological advantage of us, and I'll just use 5G as an example, the problems that Huawei created in that space, 
that's a real problem. We can't let that happen.
