Spy’s arrest underscores Beijing’s bid for agents
26th October 2010
A former American student in China whom Chinese intelligence recruited as a spy was caught after he sought work in the CIA’s espionage branch, highlighting Beijing’s efforts to plant spies inside the agency.
U.S. officials said screening by security and counterintelligence officials led to the discovery that Glenn Duffie Shriver, a Detroit resident, had close ties to Chinese intelligence agents working for the Ministry of State Security, who paid him at least $70,000 to work secretly as an informant in the CIA.
Note that the fellow was not ethnically Chinese.

He may not be ethnically Chinese, but he is from Detroit where, I suspect, America is much more hated than in China.
