Lol good catch, didn't even read the name. My mind automatically classifies them under the propaganda label nowadays
By the way here is a new york times article about her...
Check out the red flags, she really ticks all the boxes
Lol any official who after retiring in disgrace ends up in an enemy nation is considered a traitor and their words meaningless.
What did Americans say about US officials who fled to the USSR and took jobs for Russians during the cold war? The same principle applies.
Funny how some of these fifth columnists are always the loudest ones in acting like they've been rescued from some horrible fate.
Cai Xia spent 20+ years of her life being allowed to be a (well paid) fifth columnist advocating for enemy values because her home country allows differing perspectives for the sake of debate. Many professors have shorter tenures than that. If we had an US style leadership, she would be languishing in our version of Guantanamo. She should be happy every day that she was born a fifth columnist in China and not a fifth columnist in America.
Personally I don't think absolute intolerance towards hostile nation viewpoints is the right place to go, but people like her are simply not needed. I'd advocate for a system closer to what you see in the Baltics, somewhere in between current China and USA in terms of tough "dissidents" will be treated. No "extraordinary renditions", empowered MSS or mass incarcenation, but clear laws with real consequences against people who glorify and justify war crimes and atrocity promoting regimes.
