travel to China on a visa free trip

You answered your own question. Going to the new motherland by choice is the first screening to make sure the conversion is real but not impulsive.

Joke aside, I don't think the MSS is trying to expand its reach for the moment. Things are changing too fast for everyone to catch up. The bureaucrats might still be running around looking for answers to the demands from above.

So you're saying if a US intelligence guy tries to defect to China, the MSS will turn them down?

Remember Snowden?

Remember Snowden?

Yes, Snowden is a good example of what I mean. I'm pretty sure the MSS turned him down since he was too high profile. But if someone with Snowden's credentials came to HK today and wasn't adamant about whistleblowing, the MSS might offer some solution.
