Police Arrest Chinese Military Officer at Airport Allegedly Stealing U.S. Research

A Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) officer was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on Sunday while trying to leave the country with U.S. government-funded research from the University of California, the U.S. Department of Justice said on Thursday.

Xin Wang was allegedly attempting to depart the U.S. for Tianjin, China, when he was stopped by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Upon interviewing Xin, CBP officers determined that he had lied on his original visa application and he was arrested. Xin has since been charged with visa fraud and faces up to ten years in prison and a $250,000 fine if found guilty. The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is investigating the case.

According to court documents filed Thursday and a criminal complaint unsealed on Monday, Xin entered the U.S. on March 26, 2019, with a multiple entry J1 non-immigrant visa he received in December 2018. On his visa application, Xin stated that the purpose of his visit was to conduct scientific research at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). He also claimed on the application that he had served as an Associate Professor in Medicine in the PLA from 2002-2016, which prosecutors allege was a fraudulent statement.

It is rather ironic that natural born Asian citizens of the U. S. are constantly turned away from American universities to make room for considerably less qualified other applicants. Yet, there always seems to be plenty of space for the Chinese coming directly from China. It is way past time to purge our universities of any citizen of China. Why are we educating those that want to destroy us? Prior to Pearl Harbor, we sold millions of tons of scrap metal to the Japanese, and they converted it into their war machine that cost untold American lives. We can be so stupid for the sake of a dollar. The universities love the Chinese students because they pay the full out of state tuition.

It is the duty of ALL Chinese citizens to spy for the CCP. Most do not realize this.

But he may remember what he stole, I suggest for him and all other spies like him a lobotomy, after one or two chinese spies are............modified there may be a growing reluctance for others to take on the assignment.
