ChinadetectiveThere have been at least 100 incidents in recent years of people posing as tourists loitering around sensitive places like the White House, rocket launch pads and military bases.wall StreetThe daily reported on the 19th that Republican members of the two committees of the House of Representatives have issued lettersbidenSeveral government entities requested detailed information.
Chinese espionage tactics include pretending to dive in the waters near Cape Canaveral, Florida, taking photographs of White House security and communications facilities, and breaking into a missile testing site in New Mexico.
The Wall Street Journal quoted officials as saying that most of the Chinese who spied on the secrets were disguised as tourists and when discovered, said they were lost or simply wandering around. In general, the US government considered this common phenomenon to be “low-level espionage”. “For Chinese government activities” has also increased vigilance against leaking of secrets by Beijing.
As tensions between the two countries rose after the reconnaissance balloon incident earlier this year, such “low-level exploration” activities gradually gained attention; Last month, two American sailors suspected of providing China with military intelligence, such as ship operating systems and exercises in Asia, were arrested and prosecuted.
The House Select Committee on Strategic Competition of the Communist Party of China and the Committee on Homeland Security sent letters to the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, and the Department of Defense, respectively, requesting these government departments to provide more information related to the above matters. , Both papers cited the Wall Street Journal report.
The National Security Council requires these three units to provide relevant reports and reviews to all government departments, immigration and entry information on all aliens suspected of coming near sensitive locations and facilities in the United States; and how many investigations and prosecutions the Justice Department has received in such cases and other information since the Biden administration.
Some of the cases apparently occurred before Biden took office. For example, a Chinese woman was prosecuted and convicted for illegally breaking into President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago villa in Florida.
The letter, co-written by Gallagher and Ashley Hinson, chair of the Special Committee on Strategic Competition of the Communist Party of China, and signed by nine other Republican House members, said the Chinese are suspected of allegedly spying on citizens of the People’s Republic of China. More than a hundred activities took place at various US military bases and other sensitive places, which was shocking.
Hinson said, “This committee needs to know what the Department of Justice and the FBI have done and failed to do to protect our military bases and national security; we must also seek an explanation from China.”
