Ex-C.I.A. Officer Suspected of Compromising Chinese Informants Is Arrested – The New York Times

The collapse of the spy network was one of the American government’s worst intelligence failures in recent years. The arrest of the former officer, Jerry Chun Shing Lee, 53, capped an intense F.B.I. inquiry that began around 2012, two years after the C.I.A. began losing its informants in China. Investiga
