    US-China tensions like this is why I don’t want to visit China. China would accuse me of being a spy and “race traitor”, and the US would accuse me of being a CCP sleeper agent.

      Or merely being a pawn for the CCP. A couple years ago they arrested (kidnapped) 2 Chinese Canadians so they could have a trade for a detained Chinese businessman/politician in Canada.

      I can’t believe there were no reprucussions for this, literally kidnapping and holding anothers countries citizens for ransom. Somalian pirates did this and there was a coalition of dozens of countries to shut them down.

      *for clarity the Chinese Canadians were visiting China when they were detained

      You don’t need to worry about that! China already treats all ABC as race traitors anyway

    If he were really a spy he would have mysteriously disappeared with the rest when most of our agents went dark near the end of Trump’s presidency.

      That being said, would not surprise in the slightest if he’s a spy; just curious about the timing… there’s definitely spies from every country that has any in China, the US etc.

        Biggest reason why the CIA favors multilingual candidates is so they can spy in other nations.

        Why would they choose a us citizen. That’s already a difficult place to start cause there’d be more surveillance on him vs another person from a different country or a full Chinese citizen.

          Lol, what?

          I swear, the fantasy worlds some of ya’ll live in are absolutely hilarious. It’s crazy the things you believe without any evidence, and how confident you are in those beliefs.

          Take care.

            So what’s your counter argument? You can’t refute a claim without a counter.

            Otherwise you’d look like a simp for the other side.

              Lol. Do you just argue with everyone?

              I’m sorry man, but that’s you and not me.

              Keep chatting how you want, lol. And continue believing whatever you want.

              Goodbye.
