The administration would just love to find some american of chinese extraction to accuse of spying. It doesn’t matter if it’s demonstrably false, look at Pretti and Good. We had irrefutable evidence and they still called them terrorists, and never admitted they were wrong, even as they backed down for the time being. They didn’t charge the agents that murdered them in bad faith either, as the States didn’t either abdicating their duty and surrendering the 10th amendment, but that’s another story.
The administration doesn’t care how demonstrably false the accusation is, their segment of the population believes them, or pretends to, and it includes most of the judges and prosecutors. Last term we saw a bunch of bad faith prosecutions as I recall of academics. Spying by China does happen, but a lot of these weren’t that, the administration, and the party, doesn’t care about truth or justice, they will use and abuse anyone, they believe in nothing.
Even moreso because the president and china are in bed together, despite using each other as foils domestically. US corporations are over their heads investing in China on 99 year leases, factories they built with western capital, and brought over western machines and technology, to take advantage of low wages and environmental laws, and sell out the unions and higher wages here.
As such China has a veritable veto on the US, they could take that massive investment in whole or in part, and the US president is Wall Street’s bitch as much as any before him. The Chinese are known for pursuing their expatriates that have been critical of the country too, so the us administration would be perhaps more likely to falsely accuse an expatriate on the outs with their regime than otherwise, as they are just using each other for domestic politics while inextricably linked economically.

The ironic thing is my views are anti-CCP… so I’m gonna end up in a situation where both the governments of PRC and USA declares me an enemy…
