I’m a Stanford student. A Chinese agent tried to recruit me as a spy

1. For three months a man bombarded me with messages, trying to lure me to China with promises of money and fame. Now, I’m revealing his tactics.

   The irony of all this is that I was educated at a Chinese immersion school. I’ve been speaking Mandarin and learning about Chinese culture, which utterly fascinates me, since I was five. It means I’m familiar with China’s dark arts, and I now have the tools to call it out.

   It is frightening yet ingenious what the CCP is doing, and other American students like me need to be aware of the threat we’re facing. I tell my friends all the time: if you ever get a message out of the blue from a stranger telling you to visit China, be on your guard

2. Drop china, russia in the title and everything becomes geopolitics, apparently.

3. paywalled.

4. I wish someone would recruit me as a spy or a snitch or an informant..I might do the stoolile route also if they paid enough..I might even accept some cash from my neighbors, to spy on my other neighbor. Everyone needs a spy.

5. Sounds more like a scam center than actual Chinese intelligence attempting to flip someone. Pretty sure they would wine and dine and meet in person more than spam call an uni student.

6. In Trump’s America, China who is blackmailing over rare-earth and Pakistan which harbored Osama Bin Laden are the best friends and democratic India, Canada, Brazil etc are the enemies . This administration has gone crazy.

7. Honestly, not surprised.

   The biggest reason China is where it is today isn’t because of how much they’ve invested into their own people and infrastruture but has alot more to do with the literal intel theft they’ve accomplished and people theyve had move information for them.
