Here’s a weird fact: All Chinese visitors to America might be spies
By Molly Slag
With increasing frequency, we’re encountering news stories regarding the allegedly unfair suspicion that Chinese visitors to the United States, be they students or business people, are engaged in espionage. The narrative underlying these stories is that this suspicion is grounded in racism. At the same time, we are treated to reports about myriad students, business people, and government employees pleading guilty to charges of espionage against the United States. It turns out that there’s less racism and more reality to the charges than one might think.
For those of us who genuinely like and respect Asians, whether those born here or those visiting from China, this is a most unhappy state of affairs. We don’t want Asians to be the victims of mindless prejudice and we hate to see people falsely charged (especially if they’re victims of sloppy and even unethical work by the FBI).
But facts are facts, and here are two:
(1) No Chinese citizen departs that country and comes to America except with the express permission of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
(2) All Chinese citizens are subject to article seven of the Chinese National Intelligence Law (Go ahead; Duck Duck Go it; multiple hits will come right up) by which every Chinese citizen is legally obligated to “support national intelligence work.”
