Bloomberg News Technology Reporter Drake Bennett and Senior Cybersecurity Reporter Jordan Robertson join Bloomberg Businessweek Daily to discuss the launch of their limited podcast series, "The Sixth Bureau." The series follows Xu Yanjun, the Deputy Division Director of the Sixth Bureau of the Jiangsu Province MSS office – who also happens to be on a mission to snatch the crown jewel of American aerospace: GE jet engines. With dead drops, cyberattacks, aliases, blackmail and the occasional break-in, Xu played a role in one of the largest economic espionage operations in history, targeting corporate giants like DuPont, Boeing and General Motors. But in the end, his sloppiness – and a cunning FBI sting – led to a stunning reversal. Bennett and Robertson discuss with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec. (Source: Bloomberg)

Behind quarterly earnings numbers are real employment decisions, investment choices, and community impacts that shape the economic landscape of regions across the country.
The implications extend beyond the immediate news cycle. Every economic development creates ripples that affect employment, prices, and opportunities in ways that may not be immediately visible but are deeply felt. By tracking these connections, we can better understand how the economy truly works—not as an abstract machine, but as a human system shaped by and shaping the lives of millions.
