Ok they just showed a guy playing on a chess board and it was in fact chess and not xiang qi. Whoever made this seems to unironically think that Western chess was a part of ancient Chinese culture :bruh-moment:
Pausing the video at 2:38 so I can get the link and follow his career path :galaxy-brain:
Please Xi I promise I will write papers I will infiltrate the CIA I promise I won't pussy out at the polygraph please give me a scholarship and forty thousand dollars this whole deal sounds fucking awesome.
Also I know the difference between chess and xiang qi and even wei qi! I have more intelligence on China than the whole FBI!
Edit: I just realized, the whole "Sacrificing pawns" thing didn't even come into play in the entire story. The guy was sloppy and got caught. It's not like the Chinese sacrificed him or even cut him loose. All that hackneyed bullshit had no relevance to the plot at all.
