What the hell does Mark see in Wang? Wang was born into a family whose parents got Chinese government scholarships to study abroad but secretly stayed in the US, and then the guy turns super anti-China. From any angle, this dude just doesn't seem reliable at all.

All I'm hearing is he's a smart guy from a smart family?

I imagine that CCP adherents would disagree. And there's no shortage of those among Chinese expats in the US.

They tend to get incredibly offended when they see anyone who doesn't toe the Party's line - let alone believe that the Chinese government is untrustworthy and evil.

Sounds strangely American.
