At the end of the interrogation, the FBI agent finally told me that I was charged for having made a pocket heater, a device that was covered by a non-disclosure agreement with a Chinese company with a Chinese collaborator.

And you're not going to have those healthy relationships without having and demonstrating respect. Yeah. And I think that's very critical, especially from your past, working as an FBI agent , chasing spies. It sounds so Jason Bourne-ish.
