An alleged Chinese spy worked closely with the Chinese Consulate in San Francisco to cozy up to several U.S. politicians in the Bay Area before she abruptly left the United States in 2015.

The spy, named Fang Fang or Christine Fang, was allegedly working for the Ministry of State Security (MSS), China’s chief intelligence agency. She maintained “unusually close ties” with the Chinese Consulate after she enrolled as a student at California State University–East Bay (CSUEB) in 2011, according to a recent investigative report by Axios.
