Samuel Straface thought he was the last one out the door one recent evening at the medical-technology startup he leads in suburban Boston. But as he passed a glass-walled conference room on the second floor, Dr. Straface says he saw a man he didn't recognize, sitting by himself in front of two open laptops and a tablet device.

He was there to discuss the business of the company after hours by himself?

There can be little doubt that *every* Chinese "diplomat",pretty much every Chinese businessman and many,if not most,Chinese "students" are spying for China...either intending to steal military,or commercial,secrets.

Some of them may be enthusiastic spies..."true believers" and some may be unwilling spies "Comrade,before you say "no" remember that we know where your grandmother lives".

Stop allowing Chinese immigration and this crap will stop. If we continue to allow Chinese immigration, it will be impossible to stop industrial espionage.

He was just downloading the secret data that Americans wouldn't download.

Wow, that takes brazenness and chutzpah to a whole new level. Sneak into a company, plop yourself down in a conference room near the CEO’s office, and use your laptop to try to steal trade secrets.

I wonder how he got in. They must have security badges. Of course, I’ve seen lots of fellow employees kindly let in the person behind them who just happened to have “left his badge at home.”

"Stop allowing Chinese immigration and this crap will stop."

Thank goodness there are no enemy Chinese agents living here now, so your plan will work. Wrong! Stop immigration today and you still have thousands of people here still loyal to the commies in Beijing.

Besides, do you seriously think we can pass a 2017 version of the "Chinese Exclusion Act"? No way in hell.

Yep.

And if they are nationalized or their parents are nationalized I still go on the assumption they are spies.

It may not be perfectly fair but it is reality.

If convicted of both charges, he could face a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison.

That ought to be a minimum.
