A Chinese Woman Contacted with Many Politicians in the U.S. and Have Close Relationship, Suspected to Collect Political Intelligence and to Sway Their Decision-Making

A year-long investigation by Axios reported that a Chinese woman with a surname Fang suspected of being a Chinese intelligence officer. She grew close to local political powers and conducted political intelligence missions by assisting with campaign fundraising, participating in political gatherings, and having relationships or sex with at least two Midwestern mayors while studying in California between 2011 and 2015.

While studying in California State University East Bay in 2011, Fang served as a president of the school's Chinese Student Association and a president of the Asian Pacific Islander American Public Affairs (APAPA) campus chapter. Through political gatherings, civil society conferences, campaign rallies, and campus events, she came into contact with elected officials and other prominent figures, such as incumbent California Statewomen Ro Khanna and Judy Chu, and Hawaii U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who ran for California's district. She also involved in romantic or sexual relationships with at least two mayors for approximately three years. The FBI spotted her having sexual intercourse with elected officials on at least twice.

According to the report, her ultimate target was California U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell. Fang participated in Swalwell's re-election campaign in 2014 and arranged at least one intern in his office. Fang kept interacting with Swalwell several times in several years, until FBI agents alerted him in 2015, after which he severed his ties. She abruptly left the States and returned to China in the same year. However, she did not return to the U.S. nor even contacted her friends in the U.S. or the social networks she has built over the years; Axios inquired her via email and Facebook but had no response.

Follow from previous post about hostage diplomacy — another example of how CCP China imprison citizens from other countries WITHOUT GOOD CAUSES.

Foreign diplomats, including the charge d'affaires of the Canadian embassy in China, were denied entry to the “transparent” trial; which was a BREACH OF INTERNATIONAL LAW.

Both US and Canada are “deeply concerned” and say it’s “unacceptable”.

Chinese ‘spy’ aided Congressional Democrats, slept with politicians to gain influence, anonymous US officials claim

A Chinese student slept with two Midwest mayors and cultivated California Democrats while allegedly spying for Beijing, an Axios report said, even as a Beijing professor boasted on video about having ‘people at the top’ in the US.

Between 2011 when she came to the US as a student and her abrupt and unexplained departure in mid-2015, Christine Fang worked her way into the confidences of a number of prominent Democrats in the San Francisco Bay Area, Axios reported on Monday. Fang appeared in photos alongside Judy Chu, Mike Honda, Ro Khanna, and Eric Swalwell – an Intelligence Committee member who rose to prominence by championing the ‘Russiagate’ conspiracy theory against President Donald Trump.

Canadian voters are likely to face foreign cyber interference in the next election, say cyber spies

Canadian voters are likely to face some form of foreign cyber interference ahead and during the next federal election, warns Canada's cyber spy agency, including false information about voter fraud.

However, that meddling is unlikely to match the scale and influence as seen in the U.S., says the Communications Security Establishment (CSE) in a new threat assessment report published Friday.

"We assess that an increasing number of threat actors have the cyber tools, the organizational capacity, and a sufficiently advanced understanding of Canada's political landscape to direct cyber activity against future Canadian federal elections, should they have the strategic intent," reads the report.

Spies for Hire: China’s New Breed of Hackers Blends Espionage and Entrepreneurship

China’s buzzy high-tech companies don’t usually recruit Cambodian speakers, so the job ads for three well-paid positions with those language skills stood out. The ad, seeking writers of research reports, was placed by an internet security start-up in China’s tropical island-province of Hainan.

That start-up was more than it seemed, according to American law enforcement. Hainan Xiandun Technology was part of a web of front companies controlled by China’s secretive state security ministry, according to a federal indictment from May. They hacked computers from the United States to Cambodia to Saudi Arabia, seeking sensitive government data as well as less-obvious spy stuff, like details of a New Jersey company’s fire-suppression system, according to prosecutors.
