There's plenty of Chinese Americans who speak Mandarin fluently. The problem is that the intelligence community doesn't want to hire them due to sinophobia. They want someone who is an adult, has a history of hating China, yet is devoted enough to learn the language through years of study. Unsurprisingly, there aren't many.
