In what is now a widely known story, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), was apparently honey-potted by a Chinese spy by the name of Christine Fang, or Fang Fang, from 2011-2015 Throughout this time, Fang “participated in fundraising activity for Swalwell’s 2014 re-election project” and assisted location a minimum of one intern into Swalwell’s workplace, as reported by Axios in December 2020

In 2015, Swalwell got a “protective instruction” from counterintelligence authorities to notify him that Fang possibly being a Chinese spy. The California United States Representative rapidly cut ties. That very same year, Fang apparently got away the nation.

This discovery resulted in the advancement of a system within the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force that was devoted particularly to “countering China’s political impact in the United States”. It was likewise reported that now-deceased Senator Dianne Feinstein had actually been chauffeured by a Chinese spy for upwards of 19 years.

Up till the other day, the place of Fang was a secret to the general public. A stunning post from Hu Xijin on X declares that not just is she still alive and well, however that the story about her in the mainstream media is unreliable.

Yesterday, Hu Xijin, the previous editor-in-chief of the CCP’s Global Times, published that he simply had lunch with Christine Fang. Which the story distributed about her is incorrect. Hu consisted of a picture of Fang sitting with him at a dining establishment, maybe for credibility.

Hu Xijin composed:

In 2009, she went to study in [United States] and did a great deal of work to promote workers exchanges in between China & & United States in those years.

In 2015, the CIA & & FBI approached her, asked her to “work together.” The FBI utilized browbeating & & incentive, using to provide her [United States] citizenship and $1 million, needing her to work for them otherwise they would “destroy her.”

3 days after the FBI had a face-off with her, she left [United States] alone and went back to China, her motherland.

She informed me: “I simply do not wish to betray my motherland. I do not wish to be an American spy. That’s my bottom line as an individual.”

She went to [United States] with dreams, however in the end, her dreams were shattered. It was the United States that shamelessly betrayed this remarkable woman’s dream for it.

I had lunch with this girl today. Her name is Fang Fang, and United States media called her a “thought Chinese spy.”

The dining establishment seems a Beijing chain called Annie’s Italian Restaurant, with a minimum of 6 areas in Beijing. It is unclear which one particularly this was taken at. This place appears to have pictures or paintings of Rocky and Drago from Rocky IV in the background.

The story was initially reported by Red State:

The Chinese operative, who was Rep. Eric Swalwell’s (D-CA) individual buddy and staffer, broke cover in an X-post of her sitting with a Global Times press reporter almost 10 years after her abrupt exit from the United States– soon after the FBI cautioned Swalwell she was a foreign representative.

…

It is intriguing that Fang has lastly broke cover so long after her American dream ended.

In November, CNN press reporter John LeFever informed audiences Fang was eliminated in an aircraft crash– a report Fang reposted on her X account

While there does not appear to be any indicator that LeFever was a press reporter at CNN, there is a link to an X post where LeFever states:

” Not numerous individuals understand that Swalwell’s Chinese spy girlfriend– Fang Fang– passed away in 2015 in a random airplane crash captured on video.”

This details has actually not been verified to be Swalwell’s previous girlfriend, nevertheless, New York Times reported on an aircraft crash in China throughout March 2022, composing:

” By Monday afternoon, the identity of among the travelers missing out on, and more than likely dead, emerged: Fang Fang, the primary monetary officer of Dinglong Culture, a mining and resources business in Yunnan Province, where the flight started.”

” Fang Fang” was the only traveler determined in the New York Times piece. Once again, there is no verification that this is Swalwell’s Fang Fang. There is some proof that would support the possibility. According to Gelonghui.com:

China Eastern MU5735 airplane flight mishap nationwide emergency situation disposal head office, the business’s monetary director, Ms Fang Fang, passed away of an airplane crash on March 21, 2022 at the age of 30 …

If Fang immigrated to the United States in 2009 “to study”, there is a possibility of that age being precise, although unnamed sources informed Axios she remained in her late 20 s to early 30 s when she showed up in the United States. Using “Ms.” would even more indicate she was single.

An account by the name “Christine Fang” (@FangFang_ca) shared the post from Hu the other day, and had actually formerly talked about LeFever’s post about her ‘death’. The X account declaring to be Christine Fang was produced in February 2011 and states it’s situated in East Bay CA. It likewise connects to a Facebook profile that declares to be Christine Fang also. The Facebook account has images of Christine Fang going back to May 11,2013 That’s 2 years before it was understood to the general public that she was declared to be a Chinese spy.
