Seems scaremongering. The only cases of espionage clearly described were dudes.

> at a business conference on Chinese investment risks hosted last week in Virginia, two attractive Chinese women showed up and attempted to gain entry. “We didn’t let them in,” he said. “But they had all the information [about the event] and everything else.”

Nothing there to say why these women were considered spies. Lack of a ticket?

Honeypotting probably does happen. But there's no real meat to this writeup, just an unattractive guy getting linkedin requests from attractive Chinese women.

> because we, by statute and by culture, do not do that. So they have an asymmetric advantage when it comes to sex warfare.

Off the top of my head I can think of the multiple failed assassination attempts on Fidel Castro that used literal femme fatales. It's one of the oldest tricks in the book. What's the point of saying (and printing) something so ludicrous?

Didn't Epstein introduce at least two tech executives (and one president) to their wives and get one of them divorced for introducing him to beautiful women and their daughters?

Anyone looking into that from a national security standpoint?

Don’t be foolish and think it’s going to be female spies only. People should trust more sparingly.

> James Mulvenon says he has been targeted by suspected foreign agents ... “I’m getting an enormous number of very sophisticated LinkedIn requests from the same type of attractive young Chinese woman”

If I were the journalist, I would have asked for a statement from his wife.

Classically, spies are motivated by: money, ideology, coercion, or ego [1]. I wonder which it is. A Russian woman "marrying a target, having kids with a target — and conducting a lifelong collection operation" on an "aerospace company" in the "military-space innovation community".

I'd guess it has to be ego.
