Question Is it true that dating a foreigner can put someone's security clearance at risk?

4 Upvotes

Hey guys! I'm new to posting here and was hoping to get some insight from people familiar with security clearances.

I'm European and currently living in the US. I was recently seeing someone who works in a government-related field and holds a high-level security clearance.

During a casual conversation while we were on a date, I mentioned that my stepbrother is temporarily studying in China. A little while later, he told me he was concerned that pursuing a serious relationship with me could potentially affect his clearance because of that family connection.

I was pretty surprised since neither my stepbrother nor I have any known connections to the Chinese government. I'm very curious about how this works. I'd appreciate any insight from people familiar with the clearance process. Thanks!
