Reply to comment by Scanningdude in China authorities raid US due diligence firm, detain staff by VIRGO_SUPERCLUSTERZ

I can see how the CCP could see this as "spying".

I expect retaliations against Canada as well with what is happening in Parliament

This is exactly why I think this went down. China didn’t want something to get out to the global financial markets and were literally willing to take this action to make sure that didn’t happen. Just my guess but I’d bet that’s the case.

To be fair though, a consulting firm whose business is looking into businesses would be a beautiful cover for an intelligence agent. Not saying it is the case, but it is reasonable to assume that an authoritarian government may see it as a possibility.
