People being incentivised to keep these relationships secret just gives even more leverage to the CCP if they successfully use this as an espionage tactic. I assume that’s what this is meant to guard against but surely it would have the opposite effect wouldn’t it?
The headlines leave out the part where this is a requirement of their security clearance. It is not uncommon for those holding a security clearance to be discouraged or prohibited from relationships with foreign nationals. It also isn’t a direct prohibition, it would just result in a loss of their clearance, and you are absolutely correct that this will result in more leverage against US personnel.
What they don’t mention in the movies is how many of those women he got pregnant and had to pay child support to(except Craig Bond). I suppose he was enough of a blunt instrument that they didn’t have to worry about him getting blackmailed or otherwise selling state secrets because they never really gave him intel of much value.

Government personnel? That’s doublespeak for spies, right? Let’s be real, imperial media.
No, every person American employs outside of the US is a bad, counterrevolutionary, child eating spy. Now face the wall comrade, we found out you spoke english that one.

Bond movies told me one of the reasons why people get into this job is to have affairs with people from different countries.

That janitor at the US consulate? 50 confirmed kills. 45 of them house pets.
Do they really expect single Americans abroad to be celibate? 🤣 Good luck with that.
They expect single Americans everywhere to be celibate. Except themselves, because that’s different.
I mean you could fuck other Americans, or tourists, etc.
Well, as they say: when in Rome, do the Romans
This is officially American policy at this point.
Get fucked, that’s gonna be the respondes.
