"Given the chaos of the U.S. now, especially in the intel services … I can't imagine recruiting anyone, much less a Chinese asset, is any easier," -  former CIA covert agent Valerie Plame
Why the CIA is using videos to recruit Chinese sources to sell secrets to America | CBC News
American spies are saying the quiet part out loud to Chinese officials via a series of videos published online: Their knowledge of Beijing's secrets would be welcome in Washington. Some experts laud the CIA's brazen attempt to recruit Chinese sources, but other observers say it's unlikely to work.
