Generally all emails are read by the five eyes as well as China in some automated way I believe. I think if you do research for spying purposes you'll eventually get attention from someone and you may need to figure out which side you want to be aligned with if it is good. If it is not useful, and this is likely the case given no prior, then this is just idle talk. I prefer to stay away from these things as the intrigue youll run into as an independent researcher is just not worth the hassle. Go get a job at a three letter agency or something like that. Seriously do not get between China and the US as an independent researcher. It isn't worth it, especially if it is just intellectual curiousity.
