An NYPD cop and US Army reservist was charged Monday with secretly serving as a spy for the Chinese government who passed on information to a handler involved in “neutralizing” Tibetan opponents in America.

Baimadajie Angwang, who works a community affairs officer in the 111th Precinct in Queens, allegedly began acting on behalf of the People’s Republic of China in May 2018 after being recruited by an unidentified “handler” stationed in the Chinese consulate in Manhattan, according to a complaint unsealed in Brooklyn federal court.

Angwang, 33, allegedly “served as an intelligence asset” whose duties included gathering information on potential opponents of the Chinese government, including members of “religious and ethnic minorities.”

“Baimadajie Angwang.”

Good traditional American name, there.

“Baimadajie Angwang...”

Yep, a good old come-over-on-the-Mayflower kind of surname. Dependable, old-time patriotic blood coursing through his veins.

Probably an affirmative action kind of hire by someone who was filling out the quotas and looking for a fat retirement pension.

“Angwang, an ethnic Tibetan, is accused of reporting on the activities of fellow ethnic Tibetans,”

Slimeball & a Commie

Angwang, an ethnic Tibetan, is accused of reporting on the activities of fellow ethnic Tibetans, including by scoping out “potential ethnic Tibetan intelligence sources in the New York metropolitan area and beyond,” as well as potential troublemakers.>

Wow indeed. A traitor to his adopted country and his own people.

Did the Chicoms threaten his family perhaps? Or is he maybe ethnic Chinese given a Tibetan identity and cover story by the PLA?

None of the above. It’s just that we stink at getting asylum applicants.

He is a complete and utter disgrace to his ancient ancestors, his adopted country, the uniform he is wearing and the flag.

Give him over to the local Tibetan community. Get them all in a local gym, lock the door and don't open it until the Tibetans knock and want to go home.

Editor would toss the novel manuscript down on his desk and tell the prospective author: “Sorry but this is just too far out to get readers to believe it could happen. I mean a NY cop? Sorry.

But I liked your other one about the Chinese limo driver working for a US Senator in California but actually a spy all along. Plausible.

Back during the Cold War against the Soviet Union, there were KGB operatives here in the US whose mission was not espionage, but to harass émigrés from the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact satellite nations. One such was exposed at a former employer where there were a number of Soviet Jews working as engineers.

How come this is not all over the news? This is really bad. But MSM would rather write more hit pieces on the President instead.
