From wiki: “His parents gave him the Chinese name of 駱家輝 (pronounced Lok Gaa-Fai in Cantonese). He did not learn to speak English until he was five years old.”

He is an American, but it would seem he has unsettlingly strong ties to China. So to me it is a double edged sword. He knows the culture and mind set, and would offset any reverse racism by the Chinese. But it all depends on where his true loyalties lie.

I think it is a valid argument that he may be more sympathetic toward China’s ambitions than perhaps other Americans and that has nothing to do with race, but rather with his background.

I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. But, he’s not a spy, that’s ridiculous. Better choices…probably.
