Someone asked Grok to translate the video, and Grok replied:

The CIA video's Chinese subtitles, translated to English, include:

  1. "He is very dangerous, you must be careful, he is likely to be a spy."
  2. "I am responsible for the murder."
  3. "After the operation, I saw her lying on the hospital bed, her face pale and without a trace of color."
  4. "I found out that I am a very selfish person."
  5. "You can only be a person who is loved."
  6. "Can I help him predict life and death?"
  7. "Heaven helps those who help themselves; your own destiny is in your own hands."
  8. "Can you follow back now?"
  9. "My fate is in my control."
    It also provides Tor and proxy server details for secure communication.

Sorry I don't speak Mandarin.

Do the people running the CPC actually live lavish lifestyles and have the mid-level people work as assistants? Because if that isn't very common then who the fuck is this video even targeting? Surely anyone even in the orbit of party leaders is much better off where they are than being a fucking spy? Especially for the US, notorious for turning on allies

It almost seems like all of the people working for the CIA have been fed CIA propaganda their whole lives and don't even understand reality

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.

it was propaganda about a better life

Also blackmail. Implicate someone in a serious crime, then squeeze them for intel. It's the "C" in MICE - money, ideology, coercion, ego.
