>I've had the chance to work with people who were openly aligned with the CCP

What's wrong with someone openly having opinions different from yours? If they were really a threat to the US, then they would remain as inconspicuous as possible.

It was more than that, and looking back, it was such a strange situation that I'm not sure I would believe it if I heard about this from someone else. From what I can tell, this person assumed the identity of someone who went to Cornell in order to get hired. Her Cornell email account had the photo of a completely different person associated with it. Her company ID and username on the internal company chat had a different chinese name than the person we hired, and when asked about this, she said she legally changed her name the week before starting her new job. While she worked for us, she said she moonlights for China United Front to fight disinformation against the Chinese government on Chinese social media. She was with us for three months before giving us four days notice that she was quitting to go full time with her social media job. We were both working as data scientists for a large US corporation, and we had access to all sorts of really sensitive internal company data.
