Another story about how China's spies are better than ours. If only the Congress cared about this problem as much as they care about Ukraine Chinese Spy Agency Rising to Challenge the C.I.A. - The New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/...

Gotta love the Times' sourcing on its big China/US “Spy vs Spy” story today: “US officials and a person with knowledge of the transaction, who shared the information on the condition that The Times not disclose the names of the contracting firms involved.” https://www.nytimes.com…
