Years of espionage accusations between the United States and China are forming a tense backdrop to Donald Trump and Xi Jinping’s latest Washington talks. US authorities have repeatedly accused Chinese-linked actors of cyber intrusions, economic espionage and intelligence operations, while Beijing has accused Washington of conducting surveillance and cyberattacks of its own. The FBI continues to identify China as a major counterintelligence concern, while China rejects many US allegations and advances its own claims against American intelligence agencies. Xi’s state visit runs from 23 to 25 September 2026, with White House events scheduled for 24 September. This episode traces the major cases, competing accusations and unresolved intelligence tensions shaping the relationship.
