What is new about the war of spies? Everybody does it but then goes through the standard ritual when one is caught. The guy will be traded for a counter part at some point.
Chinese spy using iphone?? nonsense
# THANK YOU " UNITED STATE OF AMERICA ".

Glad that his iPhone was used against him. It is the fault of the US for allowing everyone into this country. Not even a trojan horse per se. It is pretty much an invitation to spies everywhere to come to the US. Now the US wants to pay high US dollar for Russians leaving their country in exchange for information. Really? Come on guys. This is hard earned American money being used to bribe foreigners.
Get rid of tik tok please
Isn't tic tac a spy?
What about fang fang?
We have to be very careful with people coming from China, and even expats living in China because China has a long story of spies getting technological, industrial, political and military secrets from other countries.
What about the spy that was caught at mar-a-lago?
I hope he drops the soap
should have let macarthur nuke them into friendship.
33rd comment. I found that hard to believe for a Channel that got over a millions subs.
Oddly enough, at the Verizon wireless store in Reno, NV on Mcarran and MaeAnne, I walked in to get help resetting my iPhone, I sat there and watched a girl who maybe worked their (no
Identifying clothing or name badge) as she installed new SIM cards in an almost constant stream of Asian Nationals, I say Nationals because I tried saying hi to two or three and they just looked at me and kind of grunted. So, after sitting there for nearly an hour, I walked up to the counter and asked for help again, the kid working the counter said to me âI Wish You Would Just Leaveâ so, rather than be a nuisance, I started to leave, I looked to my left and noticed a personal cell phone on the display stand with the new phones and it was plugged in??? I walked over to it, and opened up the contacts, it was mostly female names but what caught my eye, was most of the names had the title USGOV after them. I couldnât figure out who would leave their personal phone at a Verizon store, until low and behold, an Asian guy, Chinese as he still had his countries affiliate card around his neck, a Chinese way of identifying their own, he walked right up to me, smiled, said nothing, grabbed the phone from my hand, and placed another phone onto the wall display holder?????
Is China running this country? Why wouldnât the girl working there help anybody other than Asians? Why was she changing out SIM cards like they were tic tacs? Who was the Chinese man who had his personal cell on the wall display? Itâs my firm
Belief that India and China partnered in the programming of America. Of course itâs my opinion is all
âJust a cover band for western worldâ As a comedian described ChinaâĻ
