  Spend some time researching Chinese government espionage. Allocate a bit of that time to reading about corporate espionage, but don't get bogged down there - stories about corporate espionage are usually written by media, not government types. Do some independent research. If you are surprised by what you learn, don't feel bad. China is a great country with a rich, wonderful history - a few decades of political decisions does not change that. If you're really surprised by what you learn about espionage (and critically, if you and your family are in a safe place), you might want to read about what happened in 89. As you read and do independent research, you'll find lots of things. Some will be good and others will be bad. There is a lot of truth out there, or at least a lot of strings that you can pull on and unwind to get to the truth. Find some good sources and read as many different points of view as you can. If we share what we know, we can all learn about each other. I'm well aware of the power of spin in western media, so I'm not claiming that my side is right or that any other side is wrong. Just that if we share what we know, we can all learn. If my reference to 89 confuses you, I would be glad to send you some references in a more private way. If you happen to read things and feel bad, my email address is in my profile. I would be glad to tell you millions of good things about China (or alternately, millions of bad things my own country has done).
