I'm old enough to remember when selling out the American people to the CCP would have been a career ending scandal.
Selling them out to the Iranians? Pardoned and the person involved got a job on Fox News (Oliver North).
Selling them out to the Russians? Well, it worked fine last time, a bunch of minor figures went to jail, but the boss remained untouched.
So why not sell out to the Chinese? Remember, it's only illegal when a Democrat does it.
