By 1950, Adler was the subject of a Loyalty of Government Employee investigation.  Adler resigned just prior to a decision by the Civil Service Commission and Treasury Department.  Thereafter, Adler returned to Britain, and when his passport expired in three years, he was denaturalized and lost his American citizenship.

At some point in the 1950's Adler emigrated to the [[People's Republic of China]].  Adler, Frank Coe, and Sydney Rittenberg worked together in China translating [[Mao Zedong|Chairman Mao]]'s works into English.  He worked for twenty years for the Chinese Communist Party's Central External Liaison Department, an agency involved in foreign espionage.  A photograph shows him with Henshen Chen, a senior Maoist official who had been an intelligence operative in the United States from the late 1930s till 1949.  Chen wrote in his memoirs that he used the cover as an editor for the journal ''Pacific Affairs'' and worked as a researcher at the [[Institute of Pacific Relations]], and had covert liaisons with the [[Communist Party of the United States]] (CPUSA).
