The CIA will focus on China with new mission center -- the result of a months-long review and a reflection of the intelligence community's view of China as the greatest long-term threat to the United States.
The new China Mission Center"will further strengthen our collective work on the most important geopolitical threat we face in the 21st century, an increasingly adversarial Chinese government," CIA Director William Burns said in a statement, echoing what the veteran diplomat had said during his Senate confirmation hearings would be among his main priorities at the helm of the agency.

The Korea Mission Center had been created in 2017 to respond to the nuclear and missile threats from North Korea.
