What’s interesting is a recent development where a Chinese intelligence officer, meaning an employee of China’s version of the CIA, was arrested in Belgium and extradited to the US. Imagine a CIA officer getting arrested in Thailand (which is pretty friendly with China and has purchased Chinese weapon systems) and extradited to China.

I have never heard of anything like that happening, ever, on any side. There might have been clandestine abductions and disappearances of national intelligence operatives. But an out-in-the-open extradition of a national intelligence operative to a third country (in this case, the US) is unprecedented. I’m not sure the Chinese thought this was possible. Now they know.
