According to the facts, Mr. Zheng allegedly used his status as a CSA engineer to negotiate agreements for the installation of satellite station facilities in Iceland. He allegedly acted on behalf of a Chinese aerospace company.

Interesting, I'll be curious to see where this goes and what comes out through the court process. National Security files can involve some pretty heavy evidence redaction, but they still need to allow enough to make a case to convict.

If he goes to jail we should probably think twice about sending our team to the Olympics, or we might not get them back.

Oh, wait, silly me. I erroneously assumed that we might learn from previous blunders.

Don’t worry, our diplomats will be safe. We’re diplomatically boycotting the Olympics.

Take that, China! Feel the wrath of the mighty beaver!!!!
