It's appalling. Now the profanity is being expressed in our beloved FR headlines!
To: elpadre
Not much info on Chen.
One story said that she was a hydrologist.
She seems to have been looking for something in particular.
She got the info in May 2012, so you can surmise that whoever wanted it now has it.

The Chinese. Has been stealing every it of industrial, technological and military information they can get. If there’s a Chinese national or naturalized citizen in your company, odds are better than even they are downloading your data to thumb drives And send them to China. Motivation ? Money.

All these are acceptable euphemisms for FR headlines...not dam.
