How a networking immigrant became a Chinese spy

• AP

Locked in a federal penitentiary in the Arizona desert, Tai Kuo spends his days helping with the cooking, teaching language classes and tennis, making new friends.

The convicted spy, it seems, has become a mentor.

This surprises no one. Not the prosecutors who charged him. Not his old friends or colleagues, some of whom stand behind him still.
