The FBI arrested a suspected Chinese agent at Los Angeles International Airport after she allegedly surveilled the Taiwanese president's U.S.-based son, law enforcement sources told CBS News.

Wanying "Heather" Zhang, an Irvine, California, realtor, was cuffed by federal law enforcement on Sunday before she boarded a flight to Shanghai, China, from LAX, on a charge of acting as an unregistered agent of a foreign government.

Zhang's husband Edric Ding, a realtor at the same firm, told CBS News when reached by phone Sunday: "I don't know anything yet," and declined to comment further.

It was not immediately clear if Zhang has an attorney. original-4a9dd74c-8baf-421a-9a33-3e95562043a7.png Wanying "Heather" Zhang. FBI

A criminal complaint, filed in federal court by a member of the FBI's counterintelligence squad in L.A., accused Zhang and an accomplice of traveling to Seattle, Washington, in September 2025 and taking pictures at the suburban home of a top Taiwanese official's family.

Where there is two or more of ccp mainland chinese gathered together there is theft and graft..........and lets not forget espionage.

It’s ingrained in their minds, their bodies, culturally, intellectually and by government decree.

To be absolutely frank it only takes one of them....

They believe if you ain't lying, you ain't tryin!....

In disguise, she has lived all these decades under different identities. Immortal. (Kidding-—I think.)

Later novel by Sax Rohmer was President Fu Manchu in which American parties are duped into supporting him to overthrow the government as the public cries out for change. What an imagination.
