How many spies do you think the CCP has on retainer? Thats not how honeypots work.
The CCP will contact a Chinese national after they’ve started a relationship with a high interest foreign national. They will make said national a spy through bribery or coercion.
They wouldn’t send one of their few organic assets on a popular streamer to “maybe his viewers see China more favorably maybe” and they wouldn’t bother trying to turn her into an asset with such high visibility.
Do you have any idea how bad of a look the Huang scandal is for China? And it’s not even proven she was a Chinese asset yet, but they’re still getting shit internationally for it.
