发帖数: 836 | 1 A U.S. citizen has been arrested for allegedly spying for the People's
Republic of China, the Justice Department and FBI announced Monday. Xuehua "
Edward" Peng was taken into custody on Friday and charged with acting as an
illegal agent of a foreign government, according to a criminal complaint.
"The charges announced today specifically regard the use of an American
citizen to remove classified national security information from the United
States to the People's Republic of China," U.S. Attorney David L. Anderson
said during a Monday press conference. "An American citizen acted as a
secret agent of the People's Republic of China against the United States
here in the Northern District of California."
Peng allegedly worked under the Ministry of State Security (MSS), China's
preeminent intelligence agency. Anderson claimed Peng worked for the MSS by
completing dead-drops — collecting information between two agents using a
pre-determined location, delivering payments and bringing information into
China.
The criminal complaint alleges Peng knowingly acted in the U.S. as an agent
for China for three years, between June 2015 and June 2018. Anderson said
the FBI and Justice Department used a "confidential human source" in its
investigation of Peng. Anderson said the U.S. employed a double agent who
met with MSS officers in China. The MSS reportedly used this agent to
provide info to Peng using SD cards obtained via dead drops at hotels in
California and Georgia.
In an initial dry run in Newark, California, Peng reportedly received an
empty package. In four other dead drops, authorities claimed Peng left as
much as $20,000 in his hotel room, leaving a room key for the source to use
to obtain the funds. During the dry run, no money was exchanged.
"This case is the result of a multi-year FBI investigation," FBI Special
Agent John F. Bennett said Monday.
Peng is a naturalized U.S. citizen who entered the U.S. on a temporary
business visitor visa in 2001 and become a lawful permanent resident in 2006
following his marriage to his then wife. He was naturalized in 2012. He
will be prosecuted in California.
The 56-year-old Peng presented himself as a tour guide who ran sight-seeing
excursions in San Francisco to Chinese visitors and students. Peng was
arrested at his residence in San Francisco on Friday and faces up to 10
years in prison for operating in the U.S. as an agent of a foreign power
without registration. | c**********0
