An employee of the video platform Zoom who is based in China was spying on Chinese dissidents for the Communist Chinese government, according to a federal indictment announced on Friday.

Xinjiang Jin, also known as Julien Jin, was charged with conspiracy to commit interstate harassment and unlawful conspiracy to transfer means of identification. Some of his targets were living in the United States.

Jin served as Zoom’s in-house liaison to the Chinese government and had extensive interaction with Zoom executives in the United States.

Daily Caller:

John Demers, the assistant attorney general for national security, said that the case shows that U.S. executives are at risk of being co-opted by the Chinese government when doing business with Beijing.

“No company with significant business interests in China is immune from the coercive power of the Chinese Communist Party [CCP],” Demers said in a statement.

That much has been obvious for decades but the lure of being able to do business in a country of a billion people proves too much for most. The price paid for being allowed to do that business is usually steep.

Part of that price was Jin himself.

Zoom could be another Huawei and nobody is paying attention. They've had explosive growth and usage since the scamdemic started, has some very serious security issues, has servers in China and is in almost every Fortune 100 company including banks, hospitals, and government agencies. In addition, the small print in their MSA states that they record every video meeting that is held on their platform - they've got government, healthcare and banking specific MSA's but for other industries you have to know it's in there to ask for it to be removed.

What has also been a mystery was where they got their start up money from prior to going public - some think they were backed by China's PLA.

There's alot of question marks around this company that need addressing.

How many people were murdered because of what he did to help the communists?

Same question can be said of the bidens, obama, clintons etc and all the other US politicians and business people who help the communists.
