Infiltration of CCP Spies in the United States

(Minghui.org) The U.S. Department of Justice announced on December 19, 2024, that the FBI arrested Yaoning (Mike) Sun for acting as an illegal foreign agent in the U.S. and conspiring with another illegal Chinese agent Jun (John) Chen to persecute Falun Gong practitioners in the U.S. and influence local elected officials. In fact, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has infiltrated almost every aspect of Western society, especially in the U.S.

Chinese Students Sent as Spies

When I lived in China, an old college friend of mine contacted me. He worked for the Ministry of State Security and said the Ministry was looking for students to send to study in the U.S. He said that everything, including the schools they would attend, their tuition, and their accommodation, was already taken care of, and I could leave for the U.S. in a month if I was interested. Knowing the line of work he did, I knew they planned to send me to work as a spy in the U.S. I expressed little interest, so he did not contact me again.

Many people like to watch movies and read novels about spies, thinking this isn’t something that concerns them. I also felt this way until my friend contacted me. As shocked as I was, I understood that this happened more often than I had realized. After I went abroad to study, I gradually learned that the CCP has sent many secret agents overseas. Most of them enter countries as students, with the U.S. being their main focus. The extent of the CCP’s infiltration into U.S. politics and society is beyond imagination.

Chen Yonglin, a former Chinese diplomat in Australia, said that he felt guilty and had nightmares about participating in the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. He applied for asylum in, and defected to, Australia in 2005. Chen warned that China was operating a network of over 1,000 Chinese secret agents and informants in Australia, and said that China kidnapped people in Australia and repatriated them.

The CCP Sacrifices Agents Once They Cease to Be Useful

Larry Wu-Tai Chin, a Chinese spy, worked for a U.S. intelligence agency for 37 years. Four years after he retired in 1985, Yu Qiangsheng, chief of China’s Ministry of State Security North America Intelligence Division, defected to the United States and exposed Chin’s identity. After Chin was imprisoned, the CCP immediately froze his account in a Hong Kong bank and cut off all ties with him. Chin worked for the CCP for 41 years until he was sacrificed.

There have been many CCP agents who worked tirelessly "fighting in the heart of the enemy," but their lives ended miserably after years of service. The idiom “killing the donkey after the grinding is done” is standard practice for the CCP.

Plots Against Falun Gong Practitioners in the U.S.

According to The Epoch Times, during the CCP’s 20^th Congress in October 2022, Party leader Xi Jinping held a secret meeting during which he instructed top state officials on a new strategy to target Falun Gong practitioners internationally, especially in the U.S. He said the regime’s previous efforts to suppress Falun Gong overseas had failed.

Xi instructed officials to attack Falun Gong through lawsuits and disinformation campaigns on social media and traditional media, but to leave no traceable ties to the CCP. He told them to direct their energy toward smearing Falun Gong’s founder and his family. Chen Yixin, Minister of State Security, was appointed to take charge and make plans to intensify the international persecution of Falun Gong practitioners.

An important part of the plan was to mobilize all the secret agents and informants the CCP had deployed to the U.S. and target Falun Gong practitioners and Shen Yun Performing Arts. Since the summer of 2024, a large number of messages slandering Falun Gong and Shen Yun swarmed social media platforms outside China, and The New York Times published a series of articles that malign Shen Yun and Falun Gong practitioners.

The U.S. has started to expose and prosecute Chinese agents and spies, and these efforts will likely increase in the next presidential administration. I hope Chinese people sent by the CCP to work as spies in the U.S. will learn how the CCP treats its agents and avoid committing crimes on the Party’s behalf, for their own sake.
