You went totally the other way with the China angle though.

For high profile spying you would get consular help and maybe a spy trade.

No way you would be brought up on made up charges. You also have to consider the free press and the pressure they can apply in the US vs elsewhere.

The UAE press (or KSA, China, etc) operates under much different constraints.
