    People like this family ruin it for all the hard working honest Chinese families that come here to try and improve their lives. This is fuel for racism and cultural distrust. Throw away the key.

      They would be under surveillance if they were protesting oil or trying to form a union.

      Instead they are just being allowed to use fear and intimidation to undermine the freedoms some immigrants will experience in America. Strange that law enforcement seems to be ignoring the rival gang in its entirety.

    Prosecutors have said Wei, who was born in China, was first approached by a Chinese intelligence officer in February 2022 while he was applying to become a naturalized U.S. citizen, and admitted to the officer that he knew the arrangement could affect his application. Even so, prosecutors say he provided the officer detailed information on the weapons systems and aircraft aboard the Essex and other amphibious assault ships that act as small aircraft carriers.

    This guy needs to die in prison. The mother should face charges &/or expulsion as well.
