What's the Difference?

Yesterday's shower thought was this: What's the difference between a secret Asian man and a secret agent man? Despite the similarity in pronunciation (especially if you drop the T), there must be at least one, surely. What about when the man in question is both Asian and a secret agent (a secret agent Asian man or an Asian secret agent man)?

Didn't think there was one.

I have a suspicion that you're not alone in that. In this day and age, who knows? (Maybe Dennis Rodman and/or Steven Seagal, from what I've heard.) Certainly not I. As far as I know or can tell, not all secret agents are Asian and, presumably, not all Asians are secret agents, either. (Even if the CCP actually is spying on us, which I've some reason to believe it is — or at least is trying to, given how heavily Tencent has invested in Big Tech in the Western world, or at least in North American tech companies with global influence and/or reach [such as Discord, QQMe and WeChat] — that's still only one Asian country/government engaged in cyber espionage. What the others are doing in that realm, if anything, I don't know. I presume North Korea's Kim Jong family and friends are up to something nefarious, at any rate, since I'd be surprised if they aren't.) Given your username and tag, I suspect that you either are of Japanese descent (possibly including as a result of Japanese invasion of China and its SAR/Ps) or a Japanophile with a predisposition to Sailor Moon. If that's true, then I assume it's likely you don't care much for China, its government or its people.
