China warned on Tuesday it would take necessary measures to crack down on "infiltration and sabotage activities of foreign anti-China forces", days after

the CIA released videos aimed at enticing Chinese officials to leak secrets to the U.S.



The U.S. intelligence agency last week posted two short Chinese-language videos to its social media accounts depicting fictional scenes in which a senior Chinese official and a more junior government worker with access to classified information become disillusioned with China's system and approach the CIA.



A Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson called the videos a "damning confession" of the CIA's efforts in "stealing" other countries' secrets.



"The U.S. not only maliciously smears and attacks China, but also blatantly deceives and lures Chinese personnel to turn to its side, and even directly targets Chinese government officials," spokesperson Lin Jian told a regular press briefing when asked about the videos.
