The Chi Mak case is not about spying. Spies get caught, and are sent back where they came from. Chi Mak now faces the rest of his life in jail. The case also has nothing to do with law. It is a witch hunt, fully intended to intimidate the Chinese Americans from acting too uppity. It is the lynching of the outspoken black in the village so that the other blacks will fall in line. It is racist to the extreme. Despite the burgeoning Asian population in the region south of Los Angeles, the jury of eight women and four men contains only one Asian, a woman of Indian origin (and we all know how there is no love lost between the Indians and the Chinese). It was not intended to be a jury of Chi Mak's peers. He was "guilty" before the trial even started.
