    What happens in The Copenhagen Test teaser trailer?
    The trailer details the story of Alexander Hale (Liu), an
    intelligence analyst who doesn't know whom he can trust anymore. The
    trailer doesn't show off too much, but it does tease some fight
    scenes involving both Liu and Barrera, as well as a possible
    romantic connection between the two.

    The Copenhagen Test was created by co-showrunner and writer Thomas
    Brandon (Legacies). Jennifer Yale (See, Outlander) also serves as
    co-showrunner and writer on the project. Alongside Liu and Barrera,
    series regulars on The Copenhagen Test include Sinclair Daniel, Brian
    D'Arcy James, Mark O'Brien, and Kathleen Chalfant.

    Liu, Brandon, and Yale serve as executive producers on the show,
    alongside James Wan and Rob Hackett for Atomic Monster, and Mark
    Winemaker and Jet Wilkinson, the latter of whom also directs the
    first two episodes of the show.

    I don't get it. Why is he Chinese=American? Why not just make character Chinese?

    Gosh this sounds like Philip K. Dick without the need to pay that pesky licensing fee to his estate; Dick himself died in poverty.
