Risking the death penalty for a mere $15 thousand is the next level of stupidity

[@craven5328]

I agree...but I'm willing to bet that China doesn’t just ask nicely. If they have family back in China there could very well be some pressure and blackmail exerted. It’s not an excuse, but It’s a known tactic that China tries to employ to influence foreign nationals abroad / those who have emigrated.

Four decades ago, I held a security clearance and had routine access to a trove of sensitive documents. I felt a persistent level of personal anxiety due to the daunting responsibility as well as a trepid fear of the potential accountability that could come due to personal negligence. Further, I would not have even known where to begin to find access to foreign agents to compromise such materials. It would take a concerted personal effort just to reveal yourself to even find such people willing to purchase this information. Foreign agents don't mysteriously pop into your life out of nowhere.

@@sansoon1234t That’s what I mean. Maybe we don’t give top level security clearance to men 29yrs old. Perhaps we develop a test to detect whether they have critical thinking abilities? These two definitely do not.

[@gerardfenn3988]

Leavenworth. Hard Labor. For Life. If they choose, Firing Squad is an available option. I would look into who gave them the Security Clearance.

@@jaeboston9228 it’s not bigotry. Someone narrowly thinking believes this, there always reasons for laws/rules. This is why things like this happens.

Who are these “people”. Do you mean CCP agents who just came into the country with Chinese citizenship? or a blanket statement on all Asian Americans, many of whom are not even Chinese and are the loudest speakers against China?

[@Dave-xs9dm]

I'm so shocked

[@alisonstewart6512]

Well thousands of Chinese (and other) young men are crossing the southern border, non citizens can join the military and Illinois hiring non citizens for their police force. China having their own police stations set up in the US. So forth and so on. What ever happened to becoming a citizen first?

[@ford289cid7]

The Chinese police stations are illegal and have gotten raided. Young men have crossed the border for hundreds of years-two thirds of the white population are descended from people who came here since 1900. I don't think Illinois cops have any access to national security secrets, so that's not relevant here.

[@Chapa-pa-pa]

Why would you let Chinese serve in the military in the first place.

Not necessarily true, I was in the USAF even though I was born in Russia and didn’t even had citizenship when joined. I developed loyalty to my unit, comrades and this country and wouldn’t never sell any US secrets.

[@mzliop3655]

no, this loyalty is another level that most Americans don't have.
