Glamorous?
She's a fairly ordinary-looking young East Asian woman.

The alleged Chinese spy who seduced ex-Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell met him through a nonprofit accused of Chinese Communist Party ties — which is still placing interns with politicians across the US.
Fang “Christine” Fang worked her way up to president of a chapter of The Asian Pacific American Public Affairs (APAPA) group, which she used to help get interns into other political offices in California, one of the group’s stated missions.
Now-disgraced Swalwell told the FBI he considered glamorous graduate student Fang, whom he first met in 2012 before he took office, as his main point of contact with APAPA, according to declassified FBI files.
The same files detailed how Fang had also seduced two other politicians she had met through the APAPA network, both in the Midwest. One was an Ohio mayor, whom she had a sexual liaison with inside a car which was under electronic FBI surveillance, although the mayor’s identity has never been revealed.
In a statement to The Post, APAPA said their “current national leadership has no information” Fang ever held an authorized role in the group.
The leaders of APAPA have been scrutinized by US watchdog groups over their apparent ties to China’s ruling party.
Henry Yin, 79, is APAPA’s national chair and has claimed to be an adviser to California Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna.

So Fang Fang Bang Bang Ohio Mayor!?
Must have been true love. What could she glean from a mayor? Maybe defense plant expansion plans? Wright Patterson AFB intel?
Glamorous?
She's a fairly ordinary-looking young East Asian woman.
Would've been kept on Cankles email server. Where did that go?
Fang Fang tried VDH
He tells about it on one of his podcasts.
Yes! I heard that VDH podcast a while back. He talked about her showing up at his office and he booting her out.
Politics is Hollywood for ugly people.
CC
True that.
what is VDH?
Treasonous domestic enemies. Execute.
Victor Davis Hanson.
why would fang fang target VDH?
he’s not in any government office
She is plain, not glamorous. Not ugly at all, but far from the ‘femme fatale’ you would think (from the movies)
But a plain girl willing to ‘do whatever it takes’ can go far in the communist regime
Ahhh.. I miss those days!
And where is the “Pants on the ground” guy?
My guess is that she uses her targets’ narcissism to get close to them - stroking their ego and telling them what they want to hear about themselves.
The Encounter with Fang Fang
The Meeting: Hanson recounted that after writing articles critical of China, Fang Fang approached him at his office at the Hoover Institution.
The Persona: She presented herself as a consular official out of the Bay Area and a political operative who monitored American politics.
The Reaction: Unlike Eric Swalwell, who developed deep political and personal ties to the operative, Hanson stated he immediately recognized the nature of the interaction and did not engage or fall for the overtures.
Context on the Podcast
Discussions Espionage Commentary: Hanson has frequently used the incident on his podcast (The Victor Davis Hanson Show) and in media appearances to highlight what he describes as the systemic infiltration and intelligence-gathering efforts targeting American academic and political institutions by Chinese Communist Party operatives.

See a Chinese and 99% chance it’s a Spy
Thanks! The erudite Hanson immediately knew what was up and the ignoramus Swalwell fell for the honeypot hook, line and sinker. Demonstrates intellectual capability very clearly.

Message: The Asian Pacific American Public Affairs (APAPA) group is used to help get “interns” into US political offices, just one of the group’s stated missions.

APAPA needs Congressional action at once.
Swalwell told the FBI he considered glamorous graduate student.
When the brain shuts down and the crotch heater goes into high heat mode.
DANGER ensues
