the real question is, was Diana a Chinese spy? India is just south of China, separated only by a large mountain range. Seems to me the Indian relatives could have had some cross-mountain communication, even contact, with the Chinese, which means that Diana could have been related to someone who was related to someone who knew someone who was Chinese. And didn't she wear silk dresses sometimes? Silk can come from China, ya know.
