These days, it's both Russia & China. The Chinese government attempts to steal US technology... everything from drought-resistant corn to the the secret formula for making Oreo cookie's 'stuff' white.

Robert Hanssen, the FBI's biggest traitor, has this exhibit at the "International Spy Museum".
Hanssen's job was to hunt Soviet spies but instead he gave 6,000 classified docs to Russia & got 2 KGB Intel officers working for the US executed.
He was a religious father of 6, who wrote online erotica & let his friend watch him & his wife in their bedroom thru a secret camera.
The FBI's most damaging spy ever, Hanssen was sentenced to life in solitary & died in 2023.

Traitors. The exhibit of some of the biggest traitors in American history at the "International Spy Museum" was riveting.
Here's the exhibit on Aldrich Ames who spied for the Soviets for 10yrs+ while actively operating as the CIA's Counterintelligence Chief. Ames betrayed over 100 CIA operations & got at least 10 Soviet sources for the US executed.
"I did it for money - period, " Ames is noted as the worst security breach in CIA history.

Interrogation is covered in a brick room off to the side & the International Spy Museum doesn't pull any punches.
Topic #1: "Enhanced Interrogation Techniques" including & up to waterboarding. They have 5 authoratative testimonies from both 'should we/shouldn't we' camps.
The exhibits go over torture's illegality under Intl law, what waterboarding is & how it's been investigated.
I recommend seeing this thought-provoking exhibit for yourself.
