The United States Department of Justice has charged a Chinese citizen for using a drone to capture images of a Virginia shipyard engaged in the construction of US Navy nuclear submarines.
The case, reported by Wired magazine, represents uncharted territory within legal proceedings. It is ‘the first case of its kind’ under a long-standing law dating back to World War II, which prohibits the aerial documentation of crucial military installations.
The accused, Fengyun Shi, a graduate student at the University of Minnesota, faces six Espionage Act misdemeanors. The charges stem from an incident on January 5, 2024, when Shi, on leave from his studies, traveled to Virginia and rented a car.
An affidavit filed by FBI special agent Sara Shalowitz outlines the events leading to Shi’s arrest. On January 6, 2024, Shi was purportedly flying a drone in adverse weather conditions near a local shipyard.
When the drone became entangled in a neighbor’s tree, Shi approached the resident for assistance. Suspicious of Shi’s nationality and motives, the neighbor alerted authorities and provided photographic evidence of the encounter.

And if the neighbor hadn’t intervened, he would have gotten away with it.
Open borders are suicidal for this country.
Just what the NWO wants. To destroy this country.
How can anything under the espionage act be a misdemeanor?
Aren’t there unarrested J6ers to go round up? Does Garland know this is how the FBI is wasting its time?
My suspicion is that the Chinese have been spying on us for a few decades. It would be a shock to find out if they have missed anything important.
Kill the spy.
“ This is due to Biden letting in Chinese military age men in our country illegally.”
This guy is here totally legally.
Chicom party members get the red carpet.
From China legal ones are the bigger problem.
Interesting that there are no drone jamming systems in place at these sensitive sites.
Don’t you think they and the Russians have detailed satellite photos of the same place?
Little secret from the aviation world for ya: There have been countless drone overflights of US installations with most expected to have been by spies. The US intelligence agencies monitor these events and they happen nearly every day at every base, manufacturing facility, lab, corporation, you name it. We are under constant assault by these spies and the Biden admin is doing nothing to stop it as the Biden admin is bought and paid for by the Chinese, Iranians, and everyone else.
“My suspicion is that the Chinese have been spying on us for a few decades. It would be a shock to find out if they have missed anything important.”
In 1994, the Chinese had 80% poverty. Today, they have less than 8% poverty. Why? Spying. Clintoon opened that up.
Every corporation has Chinese, Iranian, Indian, and other hostile spies in them. Heck, most corporation now have Indians as chief executives.
So...the news source included an aerial photo of the super-secret shipyard...in an article discussing the arrest of a student taking aerial photos of the super-secret shipyard.
