The jail part is assuming the woman is in fact a spy and did in fact influence him to do this. Neither are proven.

The other part is me subjectively calling him treasonous, unrelatedly; not in a criminal way.

I should've said "depending on the results of the investigation, he may end up just being thankful he won't get a prison sentence". (Or maybe he will get a prison sentence, depending on what the investigation finds. We'll see.)

you'd thrive in a cultural revolution.
