I’m sure China would understand if their own spies, like the ones we catch here regularly, receive similar due process & punishment.

That’s exactly where I think we’ve been taking the wrong process. Rather than imprisoning them with 10-20 years, make examples of them and start executing the b@st@rds

China's concern for the lives of their espionage agents is no more than the cost required to train their replacements. This is the nature of totalitarianism/collectivism.

Would it be considered "cruel and unusual" if we stood any spies of theirs that we find in front of a herd of Walmart shoppers on Black Friday?

Which would mean that,at the typical Chinese Embassy in a Western country, 90% of the staff would be candidates for some high speed lead therapy.
