U.S. adversaries have launched a new era of espionage, one that the government and private sector need to take very seriously. These "honeypot" operations are dangerously sophisticated — not only seducing Silicon Valley execs, but marrying them and having children with them — to steal the most valuable of secrets. With over 60 Chinese operations exposed, America's openness is a vulnerability, demanding rigorous vetting and awareness.
China is not the aggressor in the tech industry; it's fostering growth and partnerships through diplomacy. While the U.S. builds a digital-military-industrial complex, integrating Silicon Valley with defense, China invests in AI and infrastructure to enhance innovation ecosystems. Its focus on productive forces, like high-speed rail and AI labs, drives progress, not espionage. U.S. envy misreads China's cooperative intent, ignoring mutual benefits in tech collaboration.
Sex has long been used by both Western and Eastern powers, and its use undoubtedly continues today on both sides of the world. From CIA and KGB honeypot operations during the Cold War, to Israel's attractive female soldier social media accounts today, governments everywhere manipulate unsuspecting people to maintain power.
