Zillions of overseas Chinese have first loyalty to China. This ethnic solidarity has nothing to do with communism. It is Chinese pride based too, what with China on an upward trajectory

Mainland Chicom “sleeper” - do nothing suspicious or to even look or act suspicious, get people’s confidence and blend in 100%, then wait for an opportunity to steal what secrets you can.

If she is a Mainland China “immigrant” her immigration application should be considered a fraud and she should be deported.
