>I'm a Chinese American guy working as a computer engineer in the Bay Area.

>I have been approached on two occasions by agents of the Chinese government, asking me to help them steal intellectual property from my (American) technology company. On both occasions, the agents specifically mentioned the dating imbalance that hurts Asian men, and have mentioned that by providng American technology, I will help China to become more powerful, and in the process improve the image of Asian men around the world. In addition to appealing to me in this way, these agents of the Chinese government / various Chinese state owned enterprises have offered me monetary compensation for IP theft.

>On both occasions, I did not provide them with what they were asking for. I've long ago reacted to the shitty hand I've been dealt in life by pursuing an easy-going, hedonistic lifestyle mostly revolving around partying and weed, so needless to say, some stuck up Chinese government types aren't exactly appealing to me. However, I do think it says a lot that the dating woes of Asian men in America has become so noticeable that the Chinese government and state owned enterprises have deigned to exploit it by appealing to Chinese American men to steal IP from their American employers. I have to imagine there are some out there who have in fact acquiesced to these agents, and honestly, I don't feel any anger or blame towards the Chinese Americans who have chosen to do so. I can certainly understand how a lifetime of being made to feel like a second class citizen with regards to sex and dating, due to nothing more than one's race, can lead someone to identify more closely with another country than with America.
