Wippl Interviewed on China’s Intelligence Efforts Against the U.S.
Joseph Wippl, Professor of the Practice of International Relations at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, was interviewed for a recent article on China’s intelligence efforts against the United States.
Wippl was quoted in a September 30, 2019 article by QZ entitled “A San Francisco Tour Guide Was Accused Of Spying For China.”
From the text of the article:
Chinese intelligence may focus heavily on the US, but operates against all of the world’s developed economies, said Joseph Wippl, a former operative with the CIA’s clandestine service. Wippl, who posed as a US diplomat across Europe throughout his espionage career, pointed to Germany, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, and Taiwan as particularly attractive targets.
Wippl is a former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) officer. He spent a 30 year career as an operations officer in the National Clandestine Service (NCS). Wippl has served overseas as an operations officer and operations manager in Bonn, West Germany; Guatemala City; Luxembourg; Madrid, Spain; Mexico City; Vienna, Austria; and Berlin, Germany.
