Chinese Spies Tried To Recruit Him On LinkedIn. Now He's Preaching Constant Vigilance
Former diplomat Jonas Parello-Plesner says he experienced China's attempts of infiltrating the West first-hand, and that the country is expanding its influence around the world beyond traditional espionage.

The federal government needs to be vigilant about the authoritarian Chinese Communist Party trying to influence people in the U.S., says Jonas Parello-Plesner, a former Danish diplomat who the Chinese failed to recruit.
Parello-Plesner is a fellow. He saw the subject he studies in practice in 2011 when the Chinese tried to recruit him through the professional networking platform LinkedIn.
