I wonder how many documents of the secrete Epstein files that China was able to obtain.
"We got yer nudes. Lets talk sometime."I wonder how many documents of the secrete Epstein files that China was able to obtain.
Pretty sure that applies to everyone. It's just legal in the US as lobbying and AIPAC. Imagine other countries like India. Even Russia had it before the war.
From the article
"accused of leaking information about the country’s nuclear-weapons program to the U.S. "
Possible. But is that's the case, he will likely get the death penalty. So time will tell.
"and accepting bribes for official acts, including the promotion of an officer to defense minister"
While this is possible, the phrase doesn't make much sense. Unless they are taking about the previous defense minister that was sack and then he squealed on Zhang.
"said people familiar with a high-level briefing on the allegations."
Ahh yes. Vague sources from the WSJ.
From an of the aforementioned WSJ article:
(1) "Unauthorized" or otherwise questionable or debatable disclosure of classified information to a foreign party — especially say during the course of official Sino-American negotiations — is not necessarily an act of espionage or treason, especially for someone of Zhang Youxia's former standing.
Guys at such levels of seniority just about always possess the authority to declassify highly classified information. Granted, doing so is not necessarily without risk or potential liability.
(2) The "people familiar" in question may very well be senior US officials and/or (in)famous anti-CCP diaspora (i.e the Guo Wenguis, if not the Jennifer Zengs of the world) looking to discredit the Chinese authorities by whatever — malign and dishonest — means necessary.

Oh, don't worry about that; we don't succumb nearly as easily as citizens of countries made of people with diverse ethnic backgrounds and that was before ICE made everybody hate the US even without money involved:
And then we have some great brothers too:
