I didn't say he's a Chinese spy. Neither did the person asking the question ("The US Government alleged that you gave sensitive information to the Chinese.")
I'm saying, he very possibly gave sensitive information to the Chinese government, perhaps inadvertently or through indiscretion. You don't have to be a Chinese spy to do that (he was actually the one who presented the false equivalence).
Are we supposed to believe that Chinese intelligence has been wringing its hands for the past decade, just wishing a US whistleblower would reveal a bunch of stuff to the media so they can figure out what's going on? They do have real spies, you know.
This is a smokescreen.
