    U.S. officials believed that Chinese intelligence was giving their agents “instructions on how to pass a polygraph.”

    Woah, buddy.

      That kinda makes me question things, because officials know those are bullshit. They don't use them.

            they don't have value as evidence in the sense that they are beatable, but they still have some value as a fear and compliance tool for personnel. US govt doesn't expect them to be foolproof but by regularly polygraphing agents you can raise the difficulty level for other govts to turn your people.
