It seems that our so-called ‘friendly’ neighbor has once again resorted to a new trick, using our own high-tech ‘assistance’ for espionage activities. Ah, the double-edged sword of technology, hailed at home as magical, yet used as a weapon in others’ hands. This is no trivial matter, it concerns national security, yet it was dealt with so casually. The retired captain believes it’s the fault of the previous administration, with insufficient resource allocation and damage to national interests. Is this not a讽刺 of our current political system? ‘Shell companies’, ‘third-party vendors’, it sounds like some sophisticated ‘money laundering’ scheme. A more malicious and concerning possibility is that officials may have leaked state secrets for ‘bribes’, a modern version of ‘buying and selling offices’.
