It’s called extortion.

Nothing new for ChiComs.

They’re doing this to Candians and Taiwanese right now.

Good. All those quislings giving us the finger from inside China, and telling us how much better things are in China, can now become guests of Chairman Xi.

Many American companies doing business in Communist China have upper-level managers and in many instances Quality Control personnel as well, in that country.
If the Commies start arresting those Americans the market will tank. Our dependence upon China is so many aspects of the economy is insane.

So let’s get this straight:

If someone is arrested for a crime in America, then Chinese persons in America who have committed no crime are left undisturbed.

But if the person arrested is a Chinese citizen of the PRC, then Americans in China are arrested for no crime other than being American?

Did I get that right?

Is there any doubt China is conducting a surreptitious war against America?

Don’t expect to hear a peep from Mark Cuban, he doesn’t like to get involved with the domestic politics of a foreign country.

Yup, using Hostages is a favorite of all dictators and despots.

Iran did that to the USA when they stored our Embassy during the Jimmy Carter days, but China should remember that this is not Carter they are dealing with here.

Wow, they need to update the Webster Dictionary fast!

It now seems that SPIES are actually SCHOLARS!

China is really crapping their pants now that Trump is unearthing all their spying networks, esp by going after those that entered the country posing as Students!

I've visited China several times...as a tourist.On one of those visits it was made clear to me that I was being watched.It was a minor incident but one that could have only occurred at all if I was being watched.

I was young and foolish back then.I wouldn't set foot in that country again for $10 million.
