The translation isn't right, but I'm way too lazy to try to translate it all. Basically the whole thing boils down to why do I work at all, I should be selfish. To be honest, this doesn't seem convincing at all. Like what spy working for another country would flip because they decided they are selfish? Oh wait, American ones.

Sorry America, the rest of the world isn't as full of selfish assholes like you are.
*Edit. I just realized something. If this is all they have to convince Chinese people to flip, they're really scratching the bottom of the barrel. Back in the day, against the soviets it was propaganda about a better life for their families and children. Now it's why won't the Chinese government give me millions.
Also blackmail. Implicate someone in a serious crime, then squeeze them for intel. It's the "C" in MICE - money, ideology, coercion, ego.
