Great thread. As a Falun Gong practitioner, I am well aware of just how bold and infiltrated they have become. Between Confucius Institutes and secret police stations and general consulate interference in every country they have one, they are bold almost to the point of stupidity.
It is not a Chinese characteristic, but rather CCP party culture that has led to this. I have heard from DoD sources that they will show up at DoD contractor trade shows and simply ask random people if they will provide information for 10k $$ etc. The underlings are willing to do these things because they are told they will be protected and make way more money than they would working normally.
The intel community knows this, but the political leaders are weak and obviously genocide isn't a deal-breaker in doing business with a country. Almost all Chinese students are briefed by the consulate on what to do and how to provide any information about certain groups and technology.
It's far more pervasive than most people would even believe if they were told directly.
