China set "honeytraps" for everyone who went there. Especially ones who may have influence here.
Lots of free junkets to China for anyone of importance here. Academics, media, industrialists.
They're all compromised.
Interesting. I did not know that. I remember hearing a talk by someone that was at a high level in a South American country and he said he had all these beautiful women coming up to him and coming on to him everywhere. He was flattered until it dawned on him why this was happening. Chuck Colson also talks about in his biography about a time when he was still with Nixon administration a good looking woman kept trying to get a picture with him on an airline flight. But if you don’t mind being compromised by the CCP and don’t mind collecting millions of dollars for being compromised it doesn’t really matter.
