According to his plea agreement, [Shenghua] Wen is a citizen of the People’s Republic of China who entered the United States in 2012 on a student visa and remained in the U.S. illegally after his student visa expired in December 2013.
Prior to entering the United States, Wen met with officials from North Korea’s government at a North Korean embassy in China. These government officials directed Wen to procure goods on behalf of North Korea.
In 2022, two North Korean government officials contacted Wen through an online messaging platform and instructed him to buy and smuggle firearms and other goods – including sensitive technology – from the United States to North Korea via China.
In 2023, at the direction of North Korean government officials, Wen shipped at least three containers of firearms out of the Port of Long Beach to China en route to their ultimate destination in North Korea. Wen took steps to conceal that he was illegally shipping firearms to North Korea by, among other things, filing false export information regarding the contents of the containers.
In May 2023, Wen purchased a firearms business in Houston, paid for with money sent through intermediaries by one of Wen’s North Korean contacts. Wen purchased many of the firearms he sent to North Korea in Texas and drove the firearms from Texas to California, where he arranged for them to be shipped.

Do you realize how much scrutiny an American has to go to in order to open a firearms store?
Yeh, they will spot the little polyps your colonoscopy missed.
North Korean duck hunters?
One would think North Korea could make their own guns. They must want specifically American weapons, but one would think the most likely use would be here in order to supply terrorist activities.
Something doesn’t add up here.
“Huh? Wen’s Chow Mein and Gun Emporium just ordered one million AR-15’s for a July delivery and also hired several hundred trucks to make some delivery to Port of Long Beach. Seems legit.”
Good for business(American). Where does the Norks get the money? They got none and they export weapons. You’d think they think like Israel on a war-footing.
“his student visa expired in December 2013”
It’s 2025-
Ya think maybe we should throw the phookers out by now?
FFL for an Illegal Alien, student visa overstay?
How does that work?
Nobody prints more counterfeit US 100 dollar bills than North Korea. So when they say “North Korea is paying for it”....
Wonder if Soros bankrolled the deal.
THEY WANT TO COPY THE USA TECHNOLOGY???
remember NK counterfeits supernotes... they have Intaglio Printing Presses. the money are snucked thru other other countries via diplomatic pouch.
and then a gun shop is good for money laundering and replace the fake bills.
GOOD QUESTION
Trump, for the love of our country PERMANENTLY TERMINATE THE STUDENT ViSA PROGRAM !!!!
Not only will you make our country safer, you will severely damage the Educational-Leftist complex who 's tuition is artificially inflated by having 50%+ foreign students, and uses this windfall to attack you and your policies.
This would instantly make college affordable for Americans again, and force universities abandon funding their pet social engineering/Anti-American/Marxist programs.
Post #5 May have your answer.
“Sensitive technology” is one thing but dont tell me that CIATFBI doesnt ship a whole hell of a lot more than a crate or two of firearms out of the country “illegally” every day.
Why on earth is North Korea buying guns - at retail - in the US?
Chinese food - Hamburger’s and Guns
