Just as the US convicts another member of the Armed Services for doing the same.

What even is _spying for China_ these days?
The entire planet is embittered and jaded by what the US is today. Is this guy really a miscreant like a double-agent might once have been considered; or is he actually fully against the path America is currently going down at the moment?
Fuck ‘em. If German IP is safe, I say just leave China and the US to fucking each other while we try and work on our own rise.

He’ll probably beg for asylum so they won’t extradite him to Alligator Alcatraz.

Interestingly it seems that it were the german intelligence agencies that found out that a US citizen were selling information of US military operations to China, not the american ones….

Oh, oh I see how it is now. We’ve dropped the whole “Nuclear Deterrence” thing and the 21st midcentury is gonna be all “Spy Warfare”, *Spyfare*

Way to go g*rmany. While granting tax relief for solar products that come 100% from Chinese production and run 100% data traffic over Chinese servers.

Curious now, what law protects foreign interests in Germany, so that a US contractor trying to sell US data to China while in Germany could be prosecuted? Is that due to the US bases status in Germany(becoming a national interest)?
Or would an nigerian guy trying to do the same for nigerian related interest face the same prosecution?

Little more serious than the average John Smith, one would think.
> […] he approached Chinese government officials multiple times and offered to hand over classified information about U.S. military operations.
The thought process here would interest me. “Greetings, foreign power! I am currently stationed on my Nation’s military installations within a foreign Nation. Would you care to peruse my Information for anything of worth? Perhaps we might arrange an exchange of surely classified Information for monetary Compensation?”
This sounds like either the dumbest Guy or the dumbest intelligence Operation.
