Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe in the recent espionage case, the person didn’t originally take the position with the intent to spy. Rather, they were contacted by the CCP after they were already in that role and were blackmailed into spying - using their family in China as leverage.
I mean, that’s fucked up and all, but this doesn’t counter an ‘I don’t want Chinese to be in any important position’ stance, it’s actually a pro argument.
To combat this you can basically only attempt to counter the blackmail and sneak the whole family into the US. I don’t think that’s on the table for the current administration…
