Former CIA Operative Warns of Chinese and Russian ‘Sex Spies’ in the U.S.

Concerns are mounting over a new wave of intelligence tactics involving Chinese and Russian espionage. A former CIA operative, J. Michael Waller, claims these nations are deploying ‘sex spies’ to the United States. Their objective is to extract technology and state secrets, using psychological strategies to outmaneuver the U.S.

Waller, speaking to Fox News Digital, described his experience in Poland, where he was approached by a young Chinese woman. She expressed interest in his CIA work. Upon realizing her intentions, he reported her to the Polish government. Officials promptly expelled her from the country.

Waller noted that the spy knew details about his background not publicly available. This incident highlights the lengths adversaries go to for gathering sensitive information.

They exploit loneliness or the desire for companionship, executing tactics as ancient as using sex as a coercive tool, Waller explained.

In response, the U.S. government has implemented measures to protect against such tactics. Earlier in the year, restrictions were placed on U.S. personnel in China, preventing them from engaging in romantic or sexual relationships with Chinese nationals. This policy underscores the growing concern over espionage risks.

Waller described these tactics as a form of psychological warfare, targeting key professionals to establish long-term connections. The aim is to foster emotional attachments, potentially leading to marriages and families, thereby deepening the infiltration.

Aliia Roza, a former Russian ‘sex spy,’ shared her insights with the New York Post. She noted that espionage activities are targeting Silicon Valley to access new technologies and trade secrets.

It often begins with love bombing—texts full of flattery, selfies, revealing photos, Roza stated. This manipulative approach taps into a desire to protect and rescue, drawing targets into secure information breaches.

The escalating use of these tactics highlights the need for vigilance. Waller offered advice for potential targets: If someone from China, who seems too attractive to be interested in you, shows sudden intense interest—consider them a spy, Waller warned.
