本月洛杉矶一名被控中国间谍被捕后，美国首席助理检察官比尔·埃塞利表示，中国的间谍活动在美国“极其猖獗”。
埃塞利在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时表示，他的办公室近几个月来已对多名被控中国间谍提起诉讼，并称北京方面在试图渗透美国内部方面肆无忌惮。
“我认为这种情况极其猖獗，”埃塞利在谈到中国间谍活动时说道。“中国是我们最大的对手之一，他们致力于推进自身利益。他们正在打持久战，因此愿意投入大量资源来发展情报来源，招募美国境内的人员为其利益服务。

“他们愿意窃取我们的技术，愿意在这里从事间谍活动。因此，中国无所不用其极。这是一个非常、非常令人担忧的问题。我们必须保持警惕，必须在我们的国土上破坏这些行动，”埃塞利说道。“我们必须保护我们的主权。”
“看看今年我们办公室提起的案件，我是说，有埃尔文市一名女性从事针对台湾地区总统家属的间谍活动的案件。上周我们逮捕了一名男子，他向中国出售了价值超过3亿美元的半导体芯片，也就是此前所称的人工智能芯片，”他继续说道。“我们还起诉了一名某市市长，他也充当了中国的未注册代理人，传播他们的宣传并接受中国的指令。”

“因此，这种情况极其猖獗。这是一个巨大的问题，但联邦调查局正在采取行动，”他说。“他们有专门的小组致力于打击这种活动，而我们美国检察官办公室也致力于支持这些调查，并提起刑事指控以破坏这些行动。”
据福克斯新闻数字频道获得的刑事起诉书显示，现年34岁、来自埃尔文市的万颖本月早些时候被捕，被控与一名同伙合作，拍摄并记录了其西雅图地区住所外的家属情况。

“她与一名同伙协调了这次旅行，并使用间谍手段躲避侦查，”埃塞利写道。“她从未通知总检察长她在为外国政府行事，这是一项联邦犯罪。”

埃塞利在周日的《大型周末秀》节目中表示，万颖是归化美国公民，并证实所谓的监视目标是台湾地区总统的一名亲属。
“她代表中国政府进行监视，她作为外国代理人行事，”埃塞利说道。“她在美国境内监视台湾地区总统的一名亲属。”
据哥伦比亚广播公司新闻援引执法官员消息来源报道，这名所谓的目标是赖廷宇（音译），台湾地区领导人赖清德旅居美国的儿子。起诉书中并未提及他的名字。

“我正在录像，”她据称在发送两个车牌号码前补充道。

First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said Chinese espionage is “extremely pervasive” in the U.S. following the arrest of an alleged Chinese agent in Los Angeles this month.
Essayli told Fox News Digital in an interview that his office has pressed charges against several alleged Chinese spies in recent months, saying Beijing is brazen in its attempts to build their access inside the U.S.
“I think it’s extremely pervasive,” Essayli said of Chinese spying. “China is one of our biggest adversaries, and they’re committed to advancing their interests. And they’re playing the long game, and so they are willing to put a lot of resources into developing sources, recruiting people within the U.S. to advance their interests.

“They’re willing to steal our technology; they’re willing to engage in espionage here. So, there’s no limit to what China is willing to do. It is a huge, huge concern. We have to be vigilant, and we have to disrupt these operations on our soil,” Essayli said. “We have to protect our sovereignty.”
“If you look at just the cases we brought this year, just in my office, I mean, you had cases where the woman from Irvine was engaged in espionage against the Taiwanese president’s family member. I had a guy last week we arrested, he sold more than $300 million in SI chips, formerly known as AI chips, to China,” he continued. “You had a mayor of a local city that we charged for serving as an unregistered agent of China as well, pushing out their propaganda and taking orders from China.”

“So, it’s extremely pervasive. It’s a huge problem, but the FBI is on it,” he said. “They have entire squads dedicated to combating this, and we’re committed here at the U.S. Attorney’s Office to supporting those investigations and bringing criminal charges to disrupt these operations.”
Wanying Zhang, 34, of Irvine, was arrested earlier this month for allegedly working with an associate to photograph and record the family outside their Seattle-area home, according to a criminal complaint obtained by Fox News Digital.

Essayli said FBI Los Angeles agents arrested Zhang on a federal charge of acting as an unregistered agent of the People’s Republic of China.

She allegedly traveled to Seattle in 2025 at the direction of Chinese officials and sent them photos, videos and license plate information.
“She coordinated the trip with an associate and used tradecraft to avoid detection,” Essayli wrote. “She never notified the attorney general she was acting for a foreign government, a federal offense.”

Speaking on “The Big Weekend Show” Sunday, Essayli said Zhang is a naturalized U.S. citizen and confirmed the alleged surveillance targeted a relative of Taiwan’s president.
“She was conducting surveillance on behalf of the Chinese government. She was acting as a foreign agent,” Essayli said. “And she was spying on a relative of the president of Taiwan here in the U.S.”
The alleged target was Ting-Yu Lai, the U.S.-based son of Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te, CBS News reported, citing law enforcement sources. The complaint does not name him.

“Saw him. Young male. It’s that young one,” Zhang allegedly messaged a Chinese government contact while outside the home.
“I am video recording,” she allegedly added before sending two license plate numbers.
