If the west does send spies to China they would be ethnically chinese and speak chinese at a native level.
A white person has to be the worst idea for a spy in china ever.
Anthony Mitchell
We don't need to have actual spies to do appropriate countersurveillance, especially seeing as we're not in the same business of ratfuckery as the Chinese, but some of our local contacts do put themselves at risk by providing advice and analysis to Australia.
Thomas Price
why would a government built on ruthlessness and efficiency, which is by now entirely built upon well-educated bureaucrats have a retardedly monolithic view of people such as this?
its like saying "american CIA believes all muslim americans are al-qaeda members".
btw this comic was directed at female government workers IMO and foreigners. literally every country with people at high-level bureaucracies do this.
Levi Barnes
you forgot the part where a chinese spy could be a double agent working both ways, where mr lawrence is recruited under a disguise, kept his allegiance to the empire and back-stabbed arabs without problems
Hunter Gray
>literally every country with people at high-level bureaucracies do this.
But they don't offer rewards for information about spies, that kind of vigilante shit only leads to problems.
There are foreigners who post videos about china on youtube that keep getting reported as spies. You have to wonder how dumb these people are they they think a white guy with broken chinese that posts himself all over youtube is a spy.
Lucas Mitchell
Well not spies but I think they are paranoid about westerners influencing Chinese citizens in a way the government doesn't want.
Owen Morris
I think not, what you think is the worst idea is probably a good thing for protection
Robert Green
yes they do. fucktons of governments do. CIA and high-level spy groups offer citizenship + life stipends for crucial info.
random white guys snooping around is a perfect candidate for spying, there are chinese here who get reported for spying for sending PDFs of random science schematics here imo.
Nolan Taylor
So you think the American government is sending English teachers to Shanghai expat bars to spy on the Chinese government?
Cooper Ortiz
>random white guys snooping around is a perfect candidate for spying
>Sticks out like a saw thumb >Get's photo taken by 10 random chinese as he walks down the street because they've never seen a white person in real life before >Can barely speak Chinese

That's not true, he did truly want the Arabs to be free but he couldn't control what his government and the French were going to do to the region.
He was in love with an Arab even, so it's not like they were nothing to him
Josiah Cook
no, most likely they could be recruited there
and would do some contract work instead of being a full time employed operative
what i think is if a whitey is in good position for information he would be approached by a another foreigner to abscond a piece of information from another, to less the whitey know for who and by whom the better, in the best case scenario the spy is as much out of the loop as anyone
Isaiah Myers
>to the*
Evan Williams
What kind of military plans would whitey come across in his daily life as an ESL teacher?
They don't hire white people into the government,
Brandon Myers
yeah you are a fucking thick one aren't you?
literally every country that does spying will do it in the style of sending their own "businessman" willing to make a trade deal. businessman snoops out contacts for people willing to sell secrets. this is how americans for example operate in the mid-east to get spying info.
if you are paranoid they are going to go after low-level trashy jobs like english teachers you're in luck because they don't care. they'll target important and connected people only imo.
Alexander Long
they don't their companions might as portrayed in the op, the spy would be doing the digging, the are only someone the chinese would hand the information to
Grayson Carter
>would be wouldn't be
Dylan Gutierrez
Real life isn't James Bond you know.
Kevin King
Isn't it the other way around?
Gabriel Ross
>Real life isn't James Bond >implying it isn't >implying there wasn't someone who didn't just LARP his way into being a double crossing spy for the British and yet still received an Iron Cross from Hitler anyway
