Chinese Immigration And Chinese Spying
You can't have one without the other!
After a story that reported Arcadia, CA mayor Eileen Wang (born in China’s Sichuan province) admitted acting as foreign agent for China:
A man calling himself @AGHamilton29 on Twitter wrote that
A senior aide to NY Governors, Linda Sun, is also on trial right now for acting as an agent of the CCP. I think people will be shocked once they realize just how many people in America China has on their payroll.
He went on to add:
In case anyone thinks these are isolated incidents instead of part of a covert campaign by China to spy on and influence Americans, here are some other examples from the last few years:
· In 2025, a top Department of State employee with high-level security clearance was sentenced to four years in prison for passing national defense information to PRC agents in exchange for $10,000 in cash.
· In 2024, a former CIA officer was sentenced to ten years in prison for providing PRC agents with a large volume of national defense information for $50,000 in cash.
· In 2026, a U.S. Navy [petty] officer was sentenced to 200 months in prison for espionage after selling secrets about naval capabilities to the PRC in exchange for $12,000.
· In April 2025, a former U.S. Army intelligence analyst was sentenced to 84 months in prison for providing the PRC with sensitive data on U.S. Army capabilities for $42,000.
· In October 2025, a former U.S. Army sergeant was sentenced to four years in prison for selling national defense information to PRC agents.
· In 2025, an active-duty U.S. Army sergeant was arrested for selling classified hard drives to individuals in China for at least $15,000.
My comment:
Because obviously Chinese spying in the US is a function of mass immigration from the People’s Republic of China. Linda Sun, above, was deputy chief of staff to the Governor of New York State, and is now charged with acting as an undisclosed foreign agent for China.
So in those six cases above:
1: The 2025, a top Department of State employee is Michael Charles Schena, a white guy. (Schena is an Italian name.)
2. The former CIA officer sentenced in 2024 was Alexander Yuk Ching Ma, (Chinese: 馬玉清; born 1952 in British Hong Kong, now part of the Peoples Republic of China) and a “blood relative”—presumably also Chinese.
3. The U.S. Navy officer sentenced in 2026 to 200 months in prison for espionage is Chinese.
Justice.gov reports
On January 12, 2026, former U.S. Navy Machinists Mate (a Petty Officer) Jinchao “Patrick” Wei was sentenced to 200 months (over 16 years) in federal prison for espionage, having sold sensitive technical and operating manuals regarding USS Essex naval capabilities to a Chinese intelligence officer for over $12,000. The 25-year-old naturalized citizen was convicted in August 2025.
The PRC paid for “a trip for Wei and his mother to travel to China.”
“Naturalized citizen” means immigrant from China—where presumably his mother was also born.
Also arrested at the same time: Petty Officer Wenheng Zhao, 26, sentenced to 27 months, according to a Justice.gov report which makes no mention of his citizenship, but describes him as “Petty Officer Wenheng Zhao, 26, aka Thomas Zhao, of Monterey Park, California” and says
“The intelligence services of the People’s Republic of China actively target clearance holders across the military, seeking to entice them with money to provide sensitive government information,” said Assistant Attorney General for National Security Matthew G. Olsen. “When contacted by his co-conspirator, rather than reporting it to the Navy, the defendant chose greed over protecting the national security of the United States. He is now being held accountable for his crimes. To others tempted to put personal profit ahead of patriotic duty, know that we are committed to identifying you and bringing you to justice.”
“Clearance holders” is the operative word above—it turns out, according to the Center for Development of Security Excellence, that Wenheng Zhao, 26 at the time of his conviction, is in fact a native of China, who lived in China until he was 12, and became a citizen in 2012. So why did he have a Secret Clearance in the first place?
Back to this list above:
4. The former U.S. Army intelligence analyst who was sentenced in April 2025 84 months in prison for providing the PRC with sensitive data on U.S. Army capabilities for $42,000.
This turns out to be a white guy, again.
From Justice.gov:
Korbein Schultz, 25, of Wills Point, Texas, pleaded guilty in August 2024 to conspiring to collect and transmit national defense information, unlawfully exporting controlled information to China, and accepting bribes in exchange of sensitive, non-public U.S. government information.
He wasn’t recruited by ethnic appeals, but offered money online. From cdse.edu
While on an internet platform that connects freelancers with clients, Schultz was contacted by an individual claiming to be with a geopolitical consulting firm. He later admitted when seeking a plea deal that he suspected all along that this individual was associated with the Chinese Government.
According to court documents, from May 2022 until his arrest in March 2024, Schultz engaged in an ongoing conspiracy to provide dozens of sensitive U.S. military documents directly to a foreign national residing in the People’s Republic of China in exchange for financial compensation of approximately $42,000.
5. “In October 2025, a former U.S. Army sergeant was sentenced to four years in prison for selling national defense information to PRC agents.”
This is also a white American: Joseph Daniel Schmidt of the 109th Military Intelligence Battalion, at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, flew to China, and offered intel to the PRC for money.
According to Task And Purpose
His arrest came in part to his search history. Schmidt used Google several times to look up information tied to espionage, searching for topics such as “can you be extradited for treason,” and “soldier defect.” The FBI also asserted that Schmidt took notes on a criminal conspiracy, creating a 22-page document entitled “Important Information to Share with Chinese Government.”
And the final one, from the list above:
6. “In 2025, an active-duty U.S. Army sergeant was arrested for selling classified hard drives to individuals in China for at least $15,000.”
This is actually two soldiers, and one former soldier, all of them Chinese. (No photos because the Federal authorities don’t include mugshots.)
Jian Zhao, and Li Tian, active-duty U.S. Army soldiers stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, along with Ruoyu Duan, a former U.S. Army soldier, were arrested today following indictments by federal grand juries in the District of Oregon and the Western District of Washington.
In lieu of mugshots, here’s a picture of some of the classified hard drives:
So out of the six cases above, three involved regular Americans, but the other three involved a total of FIVE Chinese-Americans—conspiring with other, because of shared ancestry.
“When contacted by his co-conspirator, rather than reporting it to the Navy, [Petty Officer Wenheng Zhao,] chose greed over protecting the national security of the United States” said the Assistant Attorney General for National Security above.
Are we sure of that? Maybe he chose China over the national security of the United States.
Now after all that, let’s look at Wikipedia’s List of Chinese spy cases in the United States as of today. There are 69 individual names. I’ve boldfaced the ones that aren’t obviously Chinese, because that’s faster—there are fewer of them.

Only 12 of 69 Chinese spies are not either Chinese or “Chinese-American”—and the cases where the Chinese Communists are bribing regular Americans are facilitated by massive Chinese immigration.
During the pandemic, we were repeatedly told that blaming the Chinese for COVID-19, or even calling it the China Virus was “racist.” There was also a strong push to treat the idea that it was engineered in a Chinese laboratory as “disinformation”.
On Twitter, left-wing journalist James Surowiecki asks
How would knowing that Covid came from a lab - assuming for the sake of argument that it did, and that we could know that with certainty - have saved lives? What would have been different about our response?
Well, the obvious answer is that it would have—and possibly still should—inspire American government action against the PRC, preferably short of nuclear war, but possibly starting with a Travel Ban and a ban on all immigration from China.
That’s also an appropriate response to massive Chinese espionage—especially considering that that there are over a quarter of a million Chinese students in the US on visas in any given year, to say nothing of Chinese professors.
With this level of influence and espionage, it’s time to start acting as if American interests matter more than those of “international students” and shut down the espionage pipeline.

Typical actually....ANY foreign student or naturalized citizen should be looked at but as you state no Chinese immigration and no student or tourist visas....they are not needed....all of these people can be educated in THEIR universities, in their country. The mainstream media will start the sob stories and brain dead Americans will lap it up. The "white" traitors were no surprise either....
This is why I think documented immigrants are far worse than undocumented immigrants.
