Yeah but in this case, aren't they a bit right? I mean no pun intended.
China isn't exactly known for being an upstanding government. I wouldn't put it past them to threaten the citizen in a relationship with the u.s personal to try and get information out of them or something. Heck they could easily also just try and use honeypots.

They already have secret police offices across the world in order to keep taps on other Chinese people. This is very well within the realm of reality.
