A Central Intelligence Agency campaign on social media to recruit Chinese officials to spy for the U.S. has been met with derision in China, while spotlighting the shadowy espionage war between the rival superpowers.

In two videos posted on YouTube and other platforms, the CIA refers to the sudden disappearance of officials within the Chinese Communist Party, criticizing Beijing's bureaucracy and hypocrisy. The clips are narrated in what some viewers described as awkward Mandarin.
