“According to the complaint, from June 2025 to September 2025, Zhang acted as an agent of the Chinese government without prior notification to the Attorney General of the United States, as required by federal law.

At the direction and control of Chinese government officials, Zhang coordinated with other individuals to promote the interests of China by, among other things, conducting surveillance on family members of a high-ranking Taiwanese government official at their residence in the United States.

In June 2025, Zhang traveled from Southern California to China, where she met with Chinese government officials and was tasked with conducting the surveillance in the United States.

On August 29, 2025, Zhang and another individual flew from John Wayne Airport in Orange County to Las Vegas. On September 1, 2025, they flew from Las Vegas to the state where the victim resides. On that date, she messaged a PRC government official that she was “Boarding now” and sent the PRC official a photograph of her boarding pass.

Upon their arrival, Zhang and the other individual rented a car and drove to the victim’s residence, where they conducted surveillance. Zhang sent the same PRC official the following message: “Saw him, young male, it’s the young one.” When this official asked her to join an audio call, she replied, “I am videorecording.”

Zhang also sent the same official the license plate numbers for the two vehicles parked in front of the victim’s home.”

Is PRC behind these schools? Because https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/liability-unregistered-foreig... “The Department of Justice would like to remind the public of federal laws that require individuals to register as foreign agents when they act in the United States at the direction or control of a foreign government or foreign principal, and that they will face civil and criminal liability if they fail to do so. ”

“Greg Lui, 38, also known as “Yiu Kong Lui,” of San Gabriel, California, is expected to make his initial appearance and be arraigned this afternoon.

Lui is charged with one count of conspiracy to violate the Export Control Reform Act and the Export Administration Regulations, one count of outbound smuggling, and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering.

According to the indictment returned on Sept. 29, Lui owns Earthmade Computer Inc., a City of Industry-based technology company and closely held corporation.

From 2023 to 2024, Lui and his co-conspirators used Earthmade to buy and send export-controlled items to China without the required licenses issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce. Instead, they shipped these items to countries such as Malaysia and Singapore, where no such license is required, then illegally re-exported them to China.

The items in question were high-end computer servers containing GPUs manufactured by companies that specialize in SI computing. Lui did so despite knowing that the true end users of the servers he purchased were in China. As part of the scheme, Lui and his co-conspirators provided false documentation to U.S.-based manufacturers that misrepresented that the items would be going to permissible end users and end destinations that did not require an export license. After placing these orders, Lui employed various freight forwarding companies to ship the export-controlled servers to countries such as Malaysia and Singapore. Once the servers arrived in these locations, Lui worked with his coconspirators to reship the items to China. From January 2024 to October 2024, Earthmade received more than $176 million from two Malaysia-based shipment companies as part of the scheme.”

CCP is pushing and amplifying AI opposition efforts, that’s a fact regardless of US politics. CCP is also working hard to smuggle around American export control laws for AI tech, at the same time.

737min··on Houthis 'take control' of key island in global shipping route
There is no evidence Israel killed 70,000 innocents. But there is strong evidence Iran killed 40,000 demonstrators and Hamas killed 1,000’s innocent.
737min··on Houthis 'take control' of key island in global shipping route
Ok, I accept being deleted by moderator. Not intend to flamebait.

But why on 9/11 have front page about Houthis, many comments supporting them and others apparent unknowing who they are?

737min··on Houthis 'take control' of key island in global shipping route
Yes, but there is growing cooperation between Sunni and Shia Islamists. Support none, all kill gays, infidels and “misbehaving” women.
737min··on Houthis 'take control' of key island in global shipping route
Their size - gained by brutal conquest - does not increase their legitimacy, it’s an Islamist group.
737min··on Houthis 'take control' of key island in global shipping route
Ansar Allah (Houthis) is a terrible Islamist group that commits warcrimws against both Yemenis and people thousands of miles away. Here’s just one example, executing men for gayness:

https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/03/27/yemen-houthis-sentence-m...

“In addition to death sentences that include crucifixion and stoning, the Houthi court sentenced 23 men to prison for periods of up to 10 years. Three of them were also sentenced to public flogging”

737min··on Houthis 'take control' of key island in global shipping route
More properly called Ansar Allah, supported by Iranian regime, and guilty of war crimes against everyone from fellow Yemenis to people thousands of miles away.

Women, gays and infidels are pubished by Houthi police.

“Today the Justice Department announced the disruption of an ongoing scheme by Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiyya (Hamas) –— a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization — to raise funds for terrorist operations and recruit supporters. As part of the Department’s efforts, over $560,000 in cryptocurrency donations destined for Hamas were seized and its fundraising and recruitment communication platforms and websites were disrupted. Hamas originally controlled the seized infrastructure and cryptocurrency addresses on behalf of its military wing, the Al Qassam Brigades. ”

“The practice of removing shark fins is banned across the region.

The cruelty behind the shark fin trade is well-documented. Shark finning often involves slicing fins off live sharks and discarding the mutilated animals back into the ocean, where they die from blood loss, suffocation or predation.”

“Chih-Yee Jen, 71, of Mequon, Wisconsin, worked as an engineer at Philips’ facility in Aurora, Illinois, where employees researched, developed, and manufactured X-ray tubes used in computed tomography (CT) medical imaging machines. Through its Dunlee brand, Philips spent years developing proprietary X-ray technology and selling various devices to medical facilities. In 2017, as Philips prepared to close the facility in Aurora, China-based Kunshan GuoLi Electronic Technology Co Ltd. and a Kunshan GuoLi vice president, Xiaoqin Du, began communicating with Jen about creating a U.S. subsidiary for Kunshan GuoLi to help it compete with Philips in developing, manufacturing, and selling X-ray tubes. While still employed at Philips, Jen began sharing confidential Philips documents with Kunshan GuoLi and Du and successfully recruited multiple Philips engineers to join him at the Kunshan GuoLi subsidiary. Jen copied Philips’ proprietary X-ray trade secret information from internal Philips databases and used the stolen information in connection with his new work developing the technology for the Kunshan GuoLi subsidiary.”
