So is he indicted because this company is also located in the US? Or is it typically normal for foreign agents to be indicted if they are not in the US and working on behalf of another government?
EDIT: Asking because it seems weird for someone working for their own government in their own country to be indicted for doing their job by a different country. Isn't that normally a diplomatic problem between countries?
Well that's where there is a definite tension with the US for sure. I'm French and in Hong Kong: in both France and Hong Kong we've seen instances of maybe exagerated outreach by the US into things maybe we should be left trying then failing on our own so we learn. Instead we're left thinking, and it's prevalent opinion in HK among people who stayed, that the US maybe was behind our troubles when really they're just unable to resist giving their holy opinion on everything, something I can admit France is accused of often in other places.
Ofc here, the guy was not just doing his job in China, he extended his reach into the US and it feels fair game. But, you point out to something that annoys me a little bit abt the US !
