CHAPTER

Espionage and Identity: The CCP's Influence

This chapter examines the case of a Chinese agent within the New York government and the motivations behind espionage for foreign powers, particularly the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). It discusses the complex interplay of financial incentives, personal ambition, and ethnic identity in recruitment tactics, emphasizing the need for clear distinctions to avoid conflating criticism of the CCP with anti-Chinese American sentiment. Historical examples and the CCP's contemporary spy culture are explored to provide context for the ongoing issues of espionage in the U.S.
