The given article informs readers of the growth of the amount of Chinese secret agents in the United States and the reasons for why they are there. The United States government does not know of said spies' whereabouts. "The agents are from the Ministry of Public Security, China's security service. U.S. officials charged Wednesday that the increase suggests China lacks concern for U.S. laws." (Scuitto, Scott). This is a repeating issue, as United States representatives "warned China to stop using covert law enforcement agents on U.S. soil." (Scuitto, Scott). China states that it is not breaching any legal contracts, it is only fighting corruption in a program called Fox Hunt 2015. This shows the theme of globalization, as Chinese spies are within the United States' boundaries. The information they retrieve (as gathering is in the nature of being a spy) will affect China somehow. That action crossing continents is a link between those continents, and links the world together in this way.
