Wen Ho Lee was a PRC spy and was caught exfiltrating secrets. Hardly a reasonable example of unjust persecution.
Are you serious? No US person seriously believes we will deport a Chinese national on a legitimate visa for their political views. Can you point to a single example of this happening?
- runarberg 3y agoIsn’t that exactly what happened to Emma Goldman and Charles Chaplin?
- illumin8 3y agoWere they Chinese nationals?

- runarberg 3y agoThere are famous cases of USA deporting a Polish-Lithuanian Jew and a British Actor because of their political views. Is there a reason to believe they wouldn’t deport a Chinese national for the same reason? Particularly since “having been a member of the Communist party” (a requirement for any Chinese citizen seeking a job in the public sector) is a question they ask before issuing a green card.
- inconceivable 3y ago> Wen Ho Lee was a PRC spy and was caught exfiltrating secrets. then why wasn't he convicted of it? LOL why is he walking around free, and with a bunch of money he won from a civil suit filed against the government? who's incompetent here, the FBI, the DOJ, or the courts? how can we assure that every east asian accused of espionage is convicted? it's a shame you aren't a federal judge, then no spy would ever get away.
