We now know the name of the Chinese defector who has been working with the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) for a few months and what his position within the Chinese military and government was, among other details.
Matthew Brazil and Jeff Stein at Spy Talk reported on the “rumor,” and gave the name and background of the rumored defector:
Chinese-language anti-communist media and Twitter are abuzz this week with rumors that a vice minister of State Security, Dong Jingwei (董经纬) defected in mid-February, flying from Hong Kong to the United States with his daughter, Dong Yang.
Dong is, or was, a longtime official in China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS), also known as the Guoanbu. His publicly available background indicates that he was responsible for the Ministry’s counterintelligence efforts in China, i.e., spy-catching, since being promoted to vice minister in April 2018. If the stories are true, Dong would be the highest-level defector in the history of the People’s Republic of China.
RedState’s sources confirmed that the defector is, in fact, Dong, that he was in charge of counterintelligence efforts in China, and that he flew to the United States in mid-February, allegedly to visit his daughter at a university in California. When Dong landed in California he contacted DIA officials and told them about his plans to defect and the information he’d brought with him. Dong then “hid in plain sight” for about two weeks before disappearing into DIA custody.
According to Spy Talk, Dong’s name came up during the Sino-American Summit held in Alaska in March 2021:
In a tweet on Wednesday, Han [Dr. Han Lianchao, a Chinese defector], citing an unnamed source, alleged that China’s foreign minister Wang Yi and Communist Party foreign affairs boss Yang Jiechi demanded that the Americans return Dong and Secretary of State Anthony Blinken refused.
RedState’s sources say that Chinese officials did demand that the United States return Dong, but Blinken didn’t exactly refuse; at that time Blinken wasn’t aware that Dong was with the US government, the sources say, and told China that the US didn’t have Dong.
It’s only in the last three to four weeks that anyone outside DIA knew about the defector, according to RedState’s sources. Prior to that time, DIA was vetting the information provided and confronting Langley officials with what they’d learned without divulging the source.
Experts quoted in the Spy Talk piece essentially say that the defection is just a rumor and that rumors happen all the time, but that if it’s true it’s a big deal but “not game-changing.” Based on conversations with sources familiar with the information Dong has already provided and its quantity and reliability, that’s simply not the case. Not only does Dong have detailed information about China’s special weapons systems, the Chinese military’s operation of the Wuhan Institute of Virology and the origins of SARS-CoV-2, and the Chinese government’s assets and sources within the United States; Dong has extremely embarrassing and damaging information about our intelligence community and government officials in the “terabytes of data” he’s provided to the DIA.
Some of the information provided by Dong was reported on by the Washington Free Beacon earlier this week:
Hundreds of Chinese nationals are the subject of a federal probe after law enforcement officials flagged their travel at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Chinese nationals returned to the United States earlier than expected in January 2020, often having modified their travel plans.
The episode is recounted in an internal report that circulated among various national security and law enforcement agencies on June 3. That report surmises that the Chinese students returned to the United States earlier than expected in order to avoid future travel restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The team examined 58,000 inbound Chinese F/J visa holders in the [Passenger Name Record] database and identified 396 individuals whose return travel was [scheduled] after January 2020 but had returned in January 2020,” the report reads.
The Free Beacon reports that U.S. intelligence officials haven’t come to a conclusion about whether or not the students being investigated were spies, but RedState is told that whether or not one wants to use the term “spy,” those students were sent back to the United States with specific information-gathering directives with the purpose of helping Beijing understand the US government’s response to the pandemic at a much deeper level than they could through publicly-available documents. Those students (spies) were charged with reporting back on public policy changes, economic response and damage, impacts on the healthcare system (equipment/hospital bed shortages, etc), supply chain impacts (including how long it took things like semiconductors from China to reach the United States), civil unrest, and more.
In addition, Dong has provided DIA with the following information:
Dong also has provided DIA with copies of the contents of the hard drive on Hunter Biden’s laptop, showing the information the Chinese government has about Hunter’s pornography problem and about his (and Joe’s) business dealings with Chinese entities. Some of the files on Dong has provided shine a light on just how it was that the sale of Henniges Automotive (and their stealth technology) to Chinese military manufacturer AVIC Auto was approved.
Again, according to sources, Dong told DIA debriefers that at least a third of Chinese students attending US universities are PLA assets or part of the Thousand Talents Plan and that many of the students are here under pseudonyms. One reason for using pseudonyms is that many of these students are the children of high-ranking military and party leaders.
As we initially reported, DIA has high confidence in the veracity of Dong’s claims. The fact that since our original report, which was pooh-poohed by Langley apologists, the New York Times published a rare interview with Dr. Shi Zhengli (the WIV “Bat Woman”), ABC News has started an “investigation” into COVID-19 origins, and now the actual name of the defector has been published in an anti-Trump, CIA-friendly blog, demonstrates what sources told RedState today: “This defector has the rest of the intelligence community and the LEO community scared sh**less.”
The mere fact that this has been revealed somehow is suspicious. Why have this go public? Why now?

If DIA has already extracted all the intel Fromm Dong, then announcing it actually helps protect him from assassination attempts by the FBI or CIA. To kill him now would look incriminating.
Names of Chinese spies working in the US or attending US universities
Financial records showing US businessmen and public officials who’ve received money from the Chinese government
Details of meetings US government officials had (perhaps unwittingly) with Chinese spies and members of Russia’s SVR
How the Chinese government gained access to a CIA communications system, leading to the death of dozens of Chinese people who were working with the CIA
Also known as the Mother-load...
There would be a very tough interrogation of this person to determine whether he IS a defector or a double agent.
There are reasons the DIA would now reveal the name and existence of this person. It gives the military a lot of leverage over traitors to surrender and fess up or be executed. The information would be detailed enough so that traitors in America would know they have no place to run and no place to hide.
I believe we are in the end game of the destruction of the traitorous Deep State.
Seventeen Techiques for Truth Suppression
#1 "Dummy up. If it's not reported, if it's not news, it didn't happen."
I find it highly unlikely we’d have such a person and what he knows is being published on Red State. What defectors tell us would be kept secret, not broadcast on a blog.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Don’t forget he was head of their COUNTERintelligence
He’s just doing what he was hired to do
( do you think zho bai din will give him a list of 16 US facilities to not hack)
Details of meetings US government officials had (perhaps unwittingly) with Chinese spies and members of Russia’s SVR
oh how i’d love to see that...
Yeah, like WHO MURDERED ASHLI BABBITT, for one..
Traitors are still executed... folks who are smart will start making deals...
Why would we talk about this publicly?
If the military were truly in control, they'd not allowed Pelosi out of the Capitol building without cable ties around her wrists. And others like SWALWELL, Adam Schiff, Omar, AOC, Tlaib, Schumer, Feinstein, Nadler, etc..
Is he really a defector?
Or double agent?
I tend to agree with your analysis. The DIA really has no way to prosecute these traitors, except in bits and pieces. For example, the CIA would be real interested in knowing how the Chinese rolled up their entire network of chinese spies. The FBI will be real interested in these 300 - 400 chinese students who travelled back to the US pre-public knowledge of COVID. Frankly, it sounds like the DIA has a treasure trove of information it can “horse-trade” with the deep state to have certain politicians/spies/students dealt with judicially or extra-judicially, presuming this isn’t a chinese disinformation operation. Though I think the DIA probably approached this with great skepticism, given the quality and quantity of actionable intel.
I’d be most interested in how the chinese corrupted our media, both mainstream and social. They’ve obviously paid some of the media off, but they inevitably have kompromat on various media actors, including Hollywood virtue signalers.
Bkmk
He went to the right org, DIA. But then, he would know.
RE: He went to the right org, DIA.
Why is the DIA relatively less vulnerable to being infiltrated by foreign spies than the other agencies supposed to protect this country?
Speculation only, but DIA doesn’t use Ivy League as recruitment feeders. People motivated purely by money are easy to corrupt. People that go into the service are less likely to be seeking a huge pot of gold.
No idea why DIA has allowed this info to go public, but of all the alphabet soup out there, they strike me as the most trustworthy. God grant that they bring the others in the IC to their knees.
Yep. as much fun as it is to read it, it is smells like bullschist... especially when it gets to the part about Hunter Biden’s laptop.
