Default US arrests four 'Chinese spies'

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7239829.stm

I know this happened in the Cold War, but isn't this a little bit earlier than expected?

This could turn ugly, but hopefully nothing serious or interesting will happen.

We can only hope......

Can anyone decipher the above post ( the "commentary", not the cited article).

Um, the Soviets began spying on us after the conclusion of WW2, thus marking the beginning of the Cold War.

If they really gave that stuff up then they deserve what they get. I think this is pretty straightforward.

I read a slight variant on this story in the morning paper. If I remember correctly, some of the intelligence they were trying to get was a list of all arms we'd be selling to Taiwan over the next five years.

On that note I wonder what would happen with foreign investors if China takes Taiwan. I might want to watch out for that.

Blade seems to have trouble on the whole post.

He seems confused on how this links to the Cold War.

May God forgive you of your stupidity Blade, I won't.

Remember how the FBI go after Wen Ho Lee a few years ago and had to drop most of the spying charges against him.

What does this have to do with the Cold War? The Cold War was between the US and USSR, not China. How can this turn ugly, If China was really spying on us then they would shut up and put their tail between their legs
