In a post on social media, Beijing’s Ministry of State Security — one of the country’s top intelligence gathering bodies — claimed he had been recruited by the United States in the 1980s, kicking off a “30-year career in spying”. The ministry said US officials constructed an elaborate backstory for him, framing him as a philanthropist and pushing him to spy on the Chinese diaspora and entrap Chinese officials visiting the United States.
