To be fair, anyone with a brain and knowledge of geopolitics knows that ANY chinese citizen is susceptible to being used, as are people in the US with family in China. They regularly threaten their families for talking trash or whatever, and pursue smear campaigns against expatriates that they feel wronged them, or refuse to cooperate on such things.
Not just China by any measure, Russia is big on that too. Just like that anti virus software company based out of st petersburg that got banned here, no reasonable learned person could think the government couldn't compromise it.
Sounds like scary propaganda made up by scared westerners lol
yeah I'm expecting China to make up its own spy story soon as well
