Watching this film now. It seems like the FBI is tempting poor American college students to accept bribes from Chinese officials, perhaps in the hope of bankrupting the Chinese government. Clever. Very clever.

edit:

Holy poo poo, the protagonist is blown away by receiving $2500. This is after the official says, "I know Shanghai is an expensive city."

$2500!

the true story of this video loving hilarious. some fratboy student wrote some freelance propaganda for the ccp (they had an ad in the school paper) and some chinese agents recruited him to take the us foreign service exam over and over but he never passed because he was retarded. and so was the chinese government as they already paid him seventy grand.

$70k seems like a pretty lovely payout. But yeah, this guy was beyond retarded and the only reason he got busted is that he was stupid enough to actually go to the CIA interview and to completely incriminate himself further.

If anything, this video is a list of things you shouldn't do if you want to be a successful spy.

And if you raise this payout to a higher sum, the story makes a little more sense. I mean, what would your price be to actually go through with this kind of nonsense? It would have to be enough to make you independently wealthy. $70k? Strapped to your chest?

How about $10 million spread across 10 different bank accounts around the world, a new passport and a Hong Kong penthouse, for starters.
