Glenn Duffie Shriver (born November 23, 1981) is an American convicted of conspiracy to spy for China. ==Biography== Shriver was born in Henrico County, Virginia, near Richmond. When his parents separated in 1983, he moved with his mother to Jenison, Michigan.〔 He attended Grand Valley State University (GVSU) in Allendale, Michigan. In 2001, he took part in a 45-day summer study program in Shanghai, China. He subsequently spent his junior year at East China Normal University, also in Shanghai. After graduating from GVSU in 2004 with a bachelor's in International Relations, Shriver returned to Shanghai to work and to study the Chinese language, in which he eventually became proficient.〔〔 He had a few acting jobs in the Chinese film industry.〔 In about 2004 Shriver answered an ad to write a paper about U.S.–China relations with regard to Taiwan and North Korea. A Chinese woman calling herself "Amanda" praised his paper and paid him US$120. This was a type of low-key initial approach, common while recruiting intelligence operatives.〔 Amanda eventually introduced Shriver to a "Mr. Wu" and "Mr. Wang".〔 Amanda, Wu, and Wang, all operatives of the Chinese Ministry of State Security, encouraged him to apply for jobs with the United States government or law enforcement, rather than the more common approach of recruiting an existing agent.〔〔 Soon they told him they were interested in obtaining classified material, and paid him $10,000 to take the United States Foreign Service Exam in Shanghai in 2005, though he failed to pass.〔〔 He was paid $20,000 for a second attempt at the exam in 2006 which also failed. Shriver next applied for a position as a clandestine officer with the National Clandestine Service branch of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in 2007. This time he requested and received payment of $40,000 from the Chinese. He took the money to the United States, but failed to report it, as required by law.〔 Shriver enjoyed China so much that he returned there as an English teacher and then lived in South Korea, where he became the fiancée of Yumi Kim. Kim was so impressed with Shriver's love of America that she nicknamed him "Mr. Patriot."〔 In February 2010, when he was in the final stages of processing for a position with the CIA, he lied in order to conceal his involvement with Chinese intelligence operatives.〔〔 Unbeknownst to Shriver, the CIA had learned of his connections early on in the hiring process.〔〔 The CIA and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have not subsequently disclosed how they discovered Shriver had been recruited by the Chinese government, but stated it was not through normal background investigations.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Glenn Duffie Shriver」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
