the officer's Chinese wife was arrested in late January for a visa violation. Because they knew an espionage charge would immediately sound alarms and threaten their plans to buy F-22 Raptors. Which apparently it did since those plans have been deep sixed.

Espionage or not, it's not happening, especially since Japan is given to statements of yellow solidarity, and cartels with Chinese and South Korean companies. Who knows when they will decide the Chinese are their long-lost friends.
