Feb. 25, 2010
(CBS) "60 Minutes" has obtained an FBI videotape showing a Defense Department employee selling secrets to a Chinese spy for cash. The video, which has never been made public before, offers a rare glimpse into the secretive world of espionage and illustrates how China’s spying may now pose the biggest espionage threat to the U.S.
China may be the number-one espionage threat now. "The Chinese are the biggest problem we have with respect to the level of effort that they’re devoting against us, versus the level of attention we are giving to them," says Michelle Van Cleave, once America’s top counter-intelligence officer who coordinated the hunt for foreign spies from 2003 to 2006.
"Definitely, without a doubt," the Chinese focus most of their espionage on the U.S., says Fengzhi Li, who once recruited spies for China's Ministry of State Security and is now in the U.S. seeking asylum.

The Chinese are really cleaning up in the US. We need to start shooting the bastards when we find them.

The Chinese will not permit the US to shoot traitors.

While I dont defend what the Chinese do in any way, I must wonder why you and other conservatives have this almost ingrown tendency to create and expand conflicts all over the world...

After all, it is not like the US is not spying on China... and does not butt its head in the affairs of other nations around the world.

Shooting all Chinese? Yeah, brilliant idea. :sarcasticclap

Well China's defense budget, which happens to be less than 1/10th what ours is, evidently is another threat to them..... as in another excuse to throw more money at defense contractors and exchange more liberty for promises of security.

Playing gotcha games?

Just trying to discern whom you were referencing. Feel free to clarify.

My guess would be,

We've been spying on them for just as long as they've been spying on us.

Where did America get this massive set of double standards?

Hopefully those Defense Department employees are treated like the rat traitors they are and shot.

But doesn't China shoot spies they catch? For that matter, doesn't China shoot quite a few random people as well? What double standard are you referring too?

 

[Partisan]

Yup, the 'Rosenberg treatment'........

This isn't about fair, bubba. This is espionage, there is no double standard and there is no fair.

 

[Crunch]

This isn't about fair, bubba. This is espionage, there is no double standard and there is no fair.

That is the liberal mantra........ It's not fair. (whine, snivel, sob)

Maybe one of these days they will grow up and realize that the world is an inherently unfair place………. Naaaaa.

That's because some people don't want it to be fair.

So is their cost base.

You dodn't shoot spys anymore. You imprison, interrogate, and hold them for insurance to be exchanged should one of yours get their collar felt. They are more use to you alive than dead.

Can't disagree here. Anyone who breaches such trust is trash. If the job doesn't pay as much or is boring, just leave, but don't spy.

Spies? When the Chinese start shooting Americans visiting or working in China as spies in response, what then?

America stops buying from them. And Wallmart closes.
BTW bye bye ASDA too.

Of course China could always call in the debt......

And forclose on the USS Nimitz, Alasksa and the Grand Canyon

Meanies !

Yeah, the Japanese tried that too.

Tha Japanese didn't hold the paper on it at the time.

How about we first execute Israel's spies? I say we execute John Pollard first. Israel has been doing this to us far before China started. Let's start with the bastards who spy for Israel first.
