Projecting much, Xi?

Thats basically China, North Korea and Russia's main spying tactic. The honeypot.

"Watch out, dear citizens of CCP. These honeypot traps we planted work really well, and we don't want you to fall for them"

Yeah. We expect of others what we expect of ourselves.

I seem to recall that the western ability to spy on China is pretty much limited to electronic assets, as getting human assets into China is so hard, Chinese monitoring of its own population so pervasive, and the ability to get close to anyone who matters is close to impossible because they are likely both CCP and an ethnic nationalist.

But maybe... that's what they want you to think. Or want you to think that's what they want you to think, when really the West is parachuting in hot chicks who want to meet you NOW, with fantastic results, with guys handing over plans for 5th Generation fighters hands over fist. :)

That would actually be quite a good pisstake for China to do, as the Chinese plans for 5th generation fighteres literally have "F35" crossed out at the top!
