FBI Agent charged for giving State secrets to China

Apparently the guy had been giving FBI related info to the Chiense state since 1997, they paid him with prostitutes, hotel stays, and other perks. I wonder what info he gave to them, and why the **** the US government keeps normal ties to China when they're openly trying to steal info/spy on us

Im sure we have agents there as well. Plus whatever secrets he leaked im sure at some point the fbi became aware and was giving him false info. Curious though

Everybody is spying on everybody else, even their allies.

Hell, Israeli spies have been caught by the US, and nobody really cares.

All countries worth a pound of salt all spy on each other. Even their Allies. This aint big news.
