Two Chinese Nationals Accused of Spying on US Navy – RedState
Now there are this: two Chinese nationals, originally entered in the United States on a tourist visa (since expiration), were arrested by the FBI. The accusations include the collection of information on the military of the US Navy and the recruitment of assets for the Chinese Communist Party.
It’s a good bust, but it raises a few questions.
Two Chinese nationals are faced with serious accusations after having pretended to have acted as an agents of the People’s Republic of the Government of China to collect information on the members and bases of the US Navy services, while recruiting other soldiers to carry out tasks for the country’s main foreign intelligence service, the Ministry of States Security (MSS).
The Ministry of Justice (DoJ) said that the Chinese national Yuance Chen, who lives in Happy Valley, Oregon, and Readn Lai, who went to Houston with a tourist visa in April 2025, were arrested on Friday. The two individuals face accusations of supervision and carrying out various clandestine intelligence tasks in the United States on behalf of the State Ministry of Security.
At the same time to help recruit the potential assets of the MSS and to collect information on the military and the bases, the two men are accused of having facilitated a payment of “dead drop” on behalf of the MSS.
The FBI arrested the two men on Friday – Chen was arrested in Happy Valley while Lai was arrested in Houston – with the help of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS).
It is not the act of a friendly nation. It is the act of, at best, a rival – at worst, an enemy. China has, in recent years, bent its muscles in the Western Pacific, and the United States would be its main adversary if the Middle Royle chose to pass this flexion to the upper level.
FBI director Kash Patel said:
“Today’s arrests reflect the FBI’s unwavering commitment to protect our national security and protect the integrity of our soldiers,” FBI director Kash Patel told Fox News Digital. “The loaded individuals acted in the name of a hostile foreign intelligence service-part of the broader effort of the Chinese Communist Party to infiltrate and undermine our institutions. Thanks to exceptional coordination with our partners, including the NCIS, we have disrupted these efforts and sent a clear message: the United States will not tolerate American soil. Our counter-intelligence operations remain concentrated, will not tolerate soil.”
Indeed, the Chinese intelligence services even infiltrated the office of a Congress member in place of California.

Here is the thing: the Chinese Communist Party and its leader, President XI, know that the window of China for a possible domination in the Pacific will close in the next generation or two. China is faced with serious problems, the least of which is the demographic crisis. Their economy is a card house. The insane policy “One Child” offered them some generations of young men without a prospect of marriage and family, which is a recipe for troubles.
The two men captured in this particular case are faced with serious accusations:
Chen and Lai were accused of operation in the United States as an agent of a foreign government without notifying the American prosecutor. If they are convicted, the two men face a fine of up to $ 250,000 and up to 10 years behind bars.
It is a sure bet that they are not the only Chinese intelligence agents to do this kind of work. They are only those who were caught.
We live in interesting moments.
