Two Chinese nationals have been caught SPYING on the US Navy on behalf of the Communist Chinese government. According to the Department of Justice, the two CCP operatives, Yuance Chen and Liren Lai, were sent here to collect intelligence about U.S. Navy service members and bases.
They were also recruiting US military members to carry out missions for China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS), which is their version of the CIA.
Along with their recruitment and intel gathering operations, the two men are accused of facilitating a “dead drop” payment of cash on behalf of the MSS.
These individuals were arrested last week on Friday by the FBI who said definitively that they were acting “on behalf of a hostile foreign intelligence service.”
“Today’s arrests reflect the FBI’s unwavering commitment to protecting our national security and safeguarding the integrity of our military,” FBI Director Kash Patel said.
Patel continued, “The individuals charged were acting on behalf of a hostile foreign intelligence service — part of the Chinese Communist Party’s broader effort to infiltrate and undermine our institutions. Thanks to outstanding coordination with our partners, including NCIS, we disrupted those efforts and sent a clear message: the United States will not tolerate espionage on American soil. Our counterintelligence operations remain focused, vigilant, and relentless.”
Lai reportedly recruited Chen to work for the MSS in 2021.
The DOJ stated that in 2022 and 2023, the pair of CCP operatives visited a U.S. Naval installation in Washington State as well as a Navy recruitment center in San Gabriel, California.
While at the recruitment center, Chen allegedly took photos of a bulletin board that contained the names, programs and hometowns of Navy recruits. The majority of those listed on the board noted that their hometown was “China,” and the photos were then sent back to an MSS intelligence officer in China.
According to the DOJ, the MSS then instructed Chen on what to say to potential recruits when it came to payment that could be made by the MSS, preferred Naval job assignments for potential recruits and methods to minimize Chen’s risk of being exposed.
The media is CONSTANTLY fear-mongering over the threat posed by nations like Iran and Russia, but for some reason they always skim over incidents like this which show what an active and serious threat the China is.
For example, how many times did you ever hear the mainstream media talk about the recent discovery that China, with the help of our own FBI, helped rig the 2020 election with fake IDs and fake mail-in-ballots to install Joe Biden as the president? I bet not much. Loyal readers got the inside scoop from FBI sources about how China helped install Joe Biden as president by using data from TikTok users to create fake driver’s licenses, which they used to request mail-in ballots for and filled them out for Joe Biden.
The liberals in the mainstream media almost NEVER criticize China because their goals align almost completely with the modern day Democratic party… as evidenced by the fact that they just worked to install a Democrat president whose family had notable business connections to China.
As much as the media might tell you otherwise, CHINA is the number one threat to America – make no mistake about it!
