It is not difficult to double-check information.

Not one but 4 arrested so far.

Just the usual Chinese spying, sabotage, and Intellectual Property theft (and the usual quick PDF vehement denials that it happens).

Don't worry she'll just be executed as a not-in-uniform military operative.

Chinese fugitive taken into custody as US claims Houston consulate was a part of espionage network


Senior US government officials said Friday that a Chinese scientist who had been hiding in the country's San Francisco consulate after accusations of visa fraud is now in US custody and charged that Beijing has been using its diplomatic outposts to run an espionage network that targets US businesses, universities and research centers to steal intellectual property.

Tang Juan, a researcher who said she was focusing on biology, "was a fugitive from justice until last night," a senior Justice Department official said, but has now been charged in Sacramento and is expected to make an appearance in court later today.

US officials made the announcement just hours before Washington's deadline for Beijing to shutter its consulate in Houston, a move that triggered China to retaliate Friday by demanding the US close its consulate in Chengdu.

Prosecutors earlier this week said that Tang concealed her connection to the country's military in her visa application, but investigators "discovered photographs of her in the uniform of the Civilian Cadre of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA)" and that she had been employed as a researcher at the Fourth Military Medical University.
During an interview with FBI agents on June 20, "Tang denied serving in the Chinese military, claimed she did not know the meaning of the insignia on her uniform, and that wearing a military uniform was required for attendance at FMMU because it was a military school," attorneys wrote in a July 20 court filing.

The US officials also said Friday that China's Houston consulate was implicated in a fraud investigation at a Texas research institution. They charged that consulate officials "were directly involved in communications with researchers and guided them on what information to collect."

Nationwide network
The activities in Houston "are a microcosm, we believe, of a broader network of individuals in more than 25 cities that network is supported through the consulates here," the Justice Department official said. "Consulates have been giving individuals in that network guidance on how to evade [and] obstruct our investigation. And you can infer from that the ability to task that [a] network of associates nationwide."

The officials spoke a day after a speech by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that recast the US-China relationship in starkly competitive terms, telling an audience at the Nixon Library that "securing our freedoms from the Chinese Communist Party is the mission of our time and America is perfectly positioned to lead it."

Referring to Chinese President Xi Jinping, Pompeo said: "We must admit our truth that should guide us in the years and decades to come, that if we want to have a free 21st century, and not the Chinese century of which Xi Jinping dreams, the old paradigm of blind engagement with China simply won't get it done," he said. "We must not continue it and we must not return to it."

Chinese espionage at work again.

US trying to provoke China. Remember China can dump US treasuries at anytime (my guess is China is gonna do this after Democrats lose in November). And that is equal to 2 years of trade surpluses with US. So it gives you a two year window to revamp to a consumer economy. My guess is if China dumps treasuries, that US is gonna issue an 'executive' order forcing US companies to leave China, simply nationalize those companies and factories trying to leave. You converted your dollars into metal and other real wealth, and can stop the devaluing of the Yuan for China to be a factory of thew world, and revalue the Yuan fixed to euro, with metal reserves in reserve to defend against an attack on the Yuan, to have a consumer economy and a war economy.

What to do now, use the dollars China has in plenty to buy up metals, iron ore, copper, silver, gold, palladium, etc. Have a ten year supply of each metal.

China simply needs peace and cheap raw materials to have a booming economy. Stay out of war and grow.

It seems the FBI has made significant strides in wiping out Chinese spy networks, especially involved in medical research. The closure of their Houston consulate is a significant blow to their operations. And we cant go a week without more Chinese getting arrested.

For far to long Chinese spies have been given free reign. That's now ending.
