Top Chinese counterintelligence official defected to US provided intel on Wuhan lab and China's bioweapons programs

Huge news if confirmed! This might be the highest level defector ever from Communist China! This article reads like a suspenseful spy novel! 

Thank goodness, the United States has about a dozen different, sometimes competing spy agencies compared e.g. to only one domestic and external spy agency in China. This defector exemplifies there is method in this madness! There was apparently a reason why this defector specifically chose the DIA of all U.S. spy agencies!

"There are multiple reports that a top Chinese official, who is reportedly "close to" Chinese President Xi Jinping, has defected to the United States. ...
Dong Jingwei defected from China with his daughter Dong Yang in mid-February, flying from Hong Kong to the United States. Dong landed in California, where he contacted the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency ...
Dong is a longtime official in China's Ministry of State Security ...
Dong's "publicly available background indicates that he was responsible for the Ministry's counterintelligence efforts in China, i.e., spy-catching, since being promoted to vice minister in April 2018 ...
Dong is "close to" Chinese President Xi Jinping" ...
Dong has extremely embarrassing and damaging information about our intelligence community and government officials ...
names of US citizens who provide intel to China, names of Chinese spies working in the US or attending US universities, financial records showing US businessmen and public officials who've received money from the Chinese government ... and how the Chinese government gained access to a CIA communications system, leading to the death of dozens of Chinese people who were working with the CIA. ...
"Sources say DIA leadership kept the defector within their Clandestine Services network to prevent Langley and the State Department from accessing the person, whose existence was kept from other agencies because DIA leadership believes there are Chinese spies or sources inside the FBI, CIA, and several other federal agencies ..."

"... A report from the Washington Times in September 2020 claims that another defector, who was a member of the People's Liberation Army, furnished the U.S. with information about China's covert biological weapons program. The defector escaped to Europe and was reportedly "under the protection of a European government security service." "The PLA defector believes that Chinese intelligence has penetrated the U.S. government and is therefore wary of cooperating with the CIA and other Western spy agencies," the report alleges. ..."
