> Chinese government agents threatened to deny an employee's mother dialysis back in China if he didn't steal proprietary information from a large hardware/software company.

What's an american three-letter agency going to do in such a situation? Write an angry letter to the CCP? I'm a proud patriot, but if given the choice between protecting a large company's IP and my mother's life, I'm choosing the latter without a moment's hesitation.
