Its not only that, they have many politicians on their books. Even western publications are warry about highlighting what's happening prominently. Today a NYPD officer was caught spying for them. https://abc7ny.com/nypd-spying-baimadajie-angwang-tibetan-officer-arrested/6484676/ https://abc7ny.com/nypd-spying-baimadajie-angwang-tibetan-of...

And in an extreme twist of irony, the NYPD officer is ethnically Tibetan.

  He probably had family they got to.

    His dad was retired PLA and a party member. His mom was a government official and also a party member. In a way they did get to them but not in the way you imply.

    There will always be a segment of any oppressed population that is willing to side with their oppressors.

    China has money. Let's never underestimate the greed of people when it comes to treason.

  It may surprise you that Jews turned in other Jews during Nazi occupation. People are people, they don't fit into nice neat little boxes.

  There's plenty of accusations being thrown around, but generally no hard proof that they're directly controlled by the Chinese Government (read into that whichever way you want). Off the top of my head, there's: Shaoquett Moselmane, Australian state politician. Recently had her home raided by the Australian Federal Police in relation to Chinese espionage (details are scant, due to the ongoing investigation) Sam Dastyari, Australian federal politician. Resigned due to donations from Chinese entities Jian Yang, NZ member of parliament. Former member of the CCP and civilian member of the PLA.

That’s how the game is played afaik... in Snowden’s book he mentions how the CIA operatives bribe assets in foreign countries (and himself witnessing a disastrous operation). The prime minister of Singapore famously called the CIA out on it: https://mothership.sg/2017/02/cias-failed-attempt-to-bribe-lee-kuan-yew-among-newly-released-documents/ https://mothership.sg/2017/02/cias-failed-attempt-to-bribe-l...

  Are there any details of the operation Snowden witnessed? I don't think I'm familiar with that and would be interested in reading/watching it.

    It's worth picking up his book and reading it firsthand. It's full of very interesting stories, the media coverage of him doesn't do justice to the real person.
