Singaporean Pleads Guilty at U.S. Court to Collecting Intelligence for China
A Singaporean man named Jun Wei Yeo, also known as Dickson Yeo, entered a plea of guilty in a U.S. Federal Court to acting as an illegal agent of Chinese intelligence.
In a press release on July 24th, the U.S. Department of Justice stated that Yeo pleaded guilty to working for the Chinese government between 2015 and 2019, utilising his network in the U.S. to set up a false consulting firm and collect sensitive information for the Chinese government.
The statement wrote that Yeo had admitted to establishing a fake consulting company that disguised itself as a government and public relations firm on career networking sites to recruit individuals with ties to the U.S. military and government agencies. These individuals often had access to classified information on technology and policies that would help China advance its own interests. There was also evidence that Yeo recruited other potential targets working in the U.S. to support Chinese intelligence operations.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Yeo himself was recruited by Chinese intelligence agency when he was an employee at National University of Singapore.

Chinese State Media Outlet Accuses HSBC for Framing Huawei. HSBC Denies the Accusation: We Bear No Malice towards Huawei
People’s Daily Online, an official media outlet of the CCP, had accused HSBC of framing Huawei’s deputy chairwoman Meng Wanzhou. In an article published on July 24th, the state media outlet claimed that the bank took part in entrapping Meng in order to evade US charges of money laundering.
HSBC issued a statement on Weibo on July 25th, saying that it bears no malice towards Huawei and had not framed the company. The material disclosed to the US Department of Justice, the statement said, was provided upon formal requests. It added that all HSBC had provided was factual information and that it had never entrapped Huawei.
The People’s Daily Online article accused HSBC of taking part in a plot against Huawei and having played a shameful role in setting traps, weaving tales and fabricating evidence. It further claimed that the bank worked with the US in framing the tech giant and testifying as a victim against Meng in exchange for a pardon for the bank’s money laundering crimes.
The article described the Meng affair as reflective of the way US and Canada were colluding in the interest of American hegemony. Under the pretence of justice, it wrote, the two North American countries were carrying out “political assassinations” of Chinese tech firms using state apparatuses.

Fauci says it's 'negligent' not to fund research at Wuhan lab, suggests collaboration with China continue
Dr. Anthony Fauci suggested that it would’ve been “negligent” for the National Institutes of Health not to fund bat coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and declined to commit not to collaborate with Chinese government scientists in the future, insisting that “we have always been careful.”
Last week, Sen. Rand Paul requested Attorney General Merrick Garland criminally investigate Fauci over his Senate testimony, during which he said the NIH never funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, which the Kentucky Republican says is a lie. Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, insists the NIH grants did not fund gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab.
