The Chinese regime “struck paydirt” when one of its alleged spies got close to U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), said Bill Gertz, who is the national security correspondent for The Washington Times and author of the book “Deceiving the Sky: Inside Communist China’s Drive for Global Supremacy.”

The alleged Chinese spy, Fang Fang, was the subject of an investigative Axios report detailing how she allegedly posed as a U.S. university student to focus on up-and-coming U.S. officials in the San Francisco Bay Area between 2011 and 2015. She was allegedly working for the Ministry of State Security, China’s chief intelligence agency.
