  • This article just reads like racist (and sexist) fear mongering.

    They describe a bunch or regular people just living their lives and then accuse them of being spies just for being (or being perceived to be) Chinese.

    This, in particular, stood out to me:

    Mulvenon also described how, at a business conference on Chinese investment risks hosted last week in Virginia, two attractive Chinese women showed up and attempted to gain entry. “We didn’t let them in,” he said. “But they had all the information [about the event] and everything else.”

    So they hosted a conference and blocked people from attending just because they thought those people were Chinese.

    No actual evidence given to back up this action; just straight up persecuting people based on their race and ethnicity.

    EDIT: I just went back over the article again to more carefully scrutinize it and make sure I was judging it fairly. It gives absolutely no examples anywhere of any woman stealing secrets.

    The only example it did give of stealing secrets was a non-Chinese man, and there’s no indication anywhere that he even had a romantic partner, let alone one that was a Chinese woman.

    The entire article really is just a massive propaganda piece with bigots pushing their prejudices against interracial and intercultural relationships.
