Interviewed by NewIn Books re: My Recent Chinese IP Spy Novel–‘Bird in the Cage’

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Bird in the Cage?

Since I started my IP investigations and protection blog in 2016, I have come to learn more and more about the Chinese government’s wide-reaching program to steal trade secrets from the United States and other Western democracies.

I also discovered that one method they use is to coerce ethnic Chinese individuals living in the West into stealing on their behalf.

A few years ago, I listened to an interview with Senator Mark Warner, where he explained that visiting Chinese students are often pressured by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to commit acts of espionage. If they refuse, their families back home could be at risk.

This realization deeply impacted me and inspired me to write ‘Bird in the Cage,’ a novel that explores the high-stakes world of IP theft, espionage, and the moral complexities faced by those coerced into such actions.

Through my story, I aim to shed light on these critical issues and bring awareness to the pervasive threats posed by international espionage.
