There is a strong belief in certain quarters that China has compromised a great deal of SECRET level operational information, to include western fast jet tactics, techniques and procedures. They have hoardes of hackers who try and sometimes succeed in breaching SECRET internet systems like the American SIPRNET.
In short, they don't need anyone to give them the secrets - they need people to help them build the core skills and competencies to execute their own gameplan. So, this talk about whether these 30 people have breached the OSA is academic.
To the 30 people in question: I hope the money is worth it...
