Have you ever met a Chinese spy?

First step, they’re chinese. That’s the only step. Fuck all of them, even if they’re not a spy they should be treated like one

At least Charles Lieber did not sell himself short

The researchers I work with from China hate China. They are still paranoid to bash China because they have family in China. You can tell years of grooming by three ccp make them hesitant, but once they get going you can tell they despise their homeland. One guy can't talk about covid upfront and have to basically speak in code to family back home and avoid key words.

One told me his family thinks he's a dish washer because the ccp will use his family as leverage to extort anything from him and his work, research wise. He uses a totally different name here. It's fucking crazy. We're just working on general grant funded research, but China wants data and the ability to sort through what they think is important.

All of them are spies, even if theyve lived here for 20 years, they remain fiercely loyal to the CCP, and if they call. Theyll answer and do whatever is asked of them

Aint that the truth.

I wish we were able warn the ignorant masses.

Here's one. Notice her evil face.

At an air show I was doing one of the displays for our military ambulances. A chink couple were REALLY interested in every little aspect of it and took a fuckton of pictures while speaking a lot of Chinese to each other. I didn't realize it at the time, but they were far more interested in the display than anyone else.

>How would you recognise one?
Mention Taiwan and say nice things about it. Then look for signs of internal seething.

most likely not but i got a joke

CIA sends a spy to Russia but he returns in a week so they ask him: how did they find you so soon?
- i was there for a week and then some russian approached me and asked me something in russian and i didn't understand, then they found out that im a spy
they teach him fluent russian and send him back but he returns in 2 weeks
- why did you return so soon?
- i was able to last there for 2 weeks, everytime some russian talked to me i answered but then some policement thought my clothing is suspicious and they found that im a spy and sent me back
they gave him authentic russian clothing and a fur hat and sent him back to Russia. he returns in a month
- they found you?
- yes, i spoke perfect russian, my clothing was the same as everyone else's but for some reason they found that im a spy and sent me back
- oh my god you niggers are so unreliable

Depends how broad a definition you want to use. Historically they've relied on vast smaller packets of information from each and every level possible to paint a picture, a vast sourcing of information. From students to business to politics. This also plays into their big data fixation, as they simply have to work with a lot of numbers, both in terms of people, incidents, generic data, and cooking the books on their side to correlate data from sister companies/businesses that do business on the other end overseas. The stereotypical comparison is, for example, Russia would plant a high level spy/mole for juicy info and leverage planning, long term singular placements. China would cast a wide net from various lower sources and compile, arguably over similar time frames (as the game never ends obviously) but with a greater emphasis on a larger amount of sources. Of course anyone can and do use either or more methods but stereotypically, in the past, methods were weighted along these lines.
Do you include things such as chinese mortgage workers leveraging their local knowledge of law and connections to get property purchases for noncitizens? Even if technically legal, where do you draw the line? What about chinese social media advertising by students who service out their time to write other chinese students essays? 10 years ago this was out in the open, nowadays it takes more to dig for these services. Again, everyone everywhere does this to some extent. That's the benefit of operating over a larger net, as the smaller picture is just a student making some extra cash whilst they study even if it's wrong to do, but in the bigger picture it's a function of something more. Where do you draw the line? A lot of this has to do with being above the table or under it. Crowdsourced intelligence gathering and opensourced intelligence gathering has always been a thing. Robert Steele is a name who used to talk about this shit, was a glowie.
