Very interesting, Probably build as a result of another successful spy ring, like they had on Concorde and I'm sure they would have been at least as successful when flying!
In the news recently is that the Russians currently have big problems with their space program due to corruption and disappearing budgets.
Now the Chinese are far smarter, they just break into the appropriate US servers and help themselves and if a bit of blackmail is required for any information they haven't got, they also have most, if not all, US Government employees personal information, warts and all.
Don't laugh as we don't know how secure all of our personal data is with the IR, NHS etc, my guess is not very on a system that by its very nature has to be available to large numbers of people.
This I guess helps make up for the lack of daily classified email briefings that the Russians, Chinese, Israelis etc received from Hillarys unsecured / unencrypted email server when she was Secretary of State, which after the President is the most targeted person for intelligence data as it covers all of their foreign policy intentions.
