During World War II, there were three spy capitals in the world: Lisbon, Switzerland, and Hu City, where spies from different countries were active, exchanging intelligence and information frequently.
In today's peaceful society, spies are becoming more distant from ordinary people, but that doesn't mean they have disappeared.
With this move in Nigeria, Mr. Cheng directly turned the remote port city of Lagos in Africa into a spy capital.
This may sound absurd, but it can be seen as the best example of Mr. Cheng's changing status.
He has long stood at the top of the world, a process that, unlike a game experience bar, has no clear progress or cues.
Perhaps this point in time was when he secured the non-profit license for New Era from the California Senate.
Perhaps it was the time he reorganized the California Elephant Party.
But regardless, he has risen up.
