No surprises here: Chinese business spy talks his way past corporate security. While the CEO was giving his staff a report he noticed the Chinese visitor sitting among the group. When he asked who this person was, nobody had an answer. He called security, who called the FBI, who responded immediately to the scene. Next thing you know, the perp was in 'cuffs and being escorted out of the building to a waiting car. Next stop: jailhouse. Hmmm.
Turns out this spy was a dual Chinese-Canadian citizen, aka an alien from the north. Anyone with a few bucks can buy his or her way into Canada these days. Even if you're Syrian of dubious background-welcome. But this man was bent on something a little more serious than refugee status. He was hoping to steal some proprietary information that he could pass on to his handlers in Beijing. This comes at a time when the credit rating of China has been downgraded because of increased debt loads carried by the government and state supported companies. The offender is locked up without bail. His case will be touted as an example of why Chinese businesses are not playing according to the rules. Dah!
More later.
