Chinese national arrested at LAX accused of acting as unregistered agent
Original: We just arrested a Chinese foreign agent at LAX attempting to depart for China. Wanying Zhang, aka “Heather,” 34, of Irv
Federal authorities arrested Wanying Zhang, also known as "Heather," 34, of Irvine, California, at Los Angeles International Airport as she allegedly attempted to depart for China. The FBI's Los Angeles office charged her on a federal complaint with acting as an unregistered agent of the People's Republic of China, and the US Attorney's office announced the arrest publicly, drawing significant attention.
Why now: The announcement of an alleged Chinese foreign agent arrested while trying to leave the country fuels ongoing concerns about espionage and foreign influence in the US.
