ASIO and FBI heads at Five Eyes intelligence summit accuse China of being world's worst intellectual property thief"We recognise nations will spy, we recognise nations will seek strategic advantage," he said ahead of the summit.
"But what we're talking about here, this is behaviour that goes beyond traditional espionage.
"The Chinese government are engaged in the most sustained, sophisticated and scaled theft of intellectual property and expertise in human history.
"And this summit is about how we work with our partners together, and in the tech sector and innovation sector, so they can better be placed to identify and manage those risks effectively."
Mr Wray labelled the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) the "number one threat to innovation", arguing it had made economic espionage "a central component of its national strategy".
"The FBI have, over the last several years, had about a 1,300 per cent increase in investigations that are, in one way or another, related to attempts to steal intellectual property or other secrets by some form of the Chinese government, or some arm of the Chinese government," he said.
"It wasn't that long ago, when I checked, we were opening a new investigation, again, specifically focused on China and its efforts to steal intellectual property and other secrets, about every 12 hours."
