#1 The naturalised US citizen born in China

Not to the Chinese, he's not. He's Chinese through and through, and I'm sure the Chinese government didn't appreciate the US government meddling in its internal affairs. They'll imprison whoever they like for as long as they like. Frankly, it sounds like this fellow wanted to get things on the cheap without paying his 'license fees'. Just think about how much money he could have made had he played ball and avoided prison. Ten years is a huge opportunity cost, but I suppose he has the satisfaction that they couldn't make him pay.
