FBI tracks over 100 incidents of Chinese nationals posing as tourists to breach US military sites: report

The growing Chinese 'gate crashers' trend is sparking espionage concerns

The FBI and Department of Defense have reportedly tracked more than 100 incidents of Chinese nationals posing as tourists to attempt to breach U.S. military bases and other federal sites.

Those responsible, dubbed "gate crashers," range from Chinese nationals detected crossing into a U.S. missile range in New Mexico, to scuba divers caught swimming in murky waters near a U.S. government rocket launch site in Florida, several U.S. officials recently told The Wall Street Journal. The growing trend represents a potential espionage threat, as authorities believe the Chinese government in some cases is compelling nationals into service in order to test out and report back about security practices at the installations.

The FBI, Department of Defense and other agencies held a review late last year centered around deterring these incidents. It is not known how many incidents were benign in nature. For example, some Chinese nationals claim to have been following Google Maps to the nearest McDonald’s or Burger King, which happens to be located on a nearby military base.

In other more concerning incidents, Chinese nationals arrived saying they had a reservation at a hotel on a military base. Recently, a group of Chinese nationals purporting to be tourists tried to force their way past guards at Fort Wainwright, Alaska, claiming they had reservations at a commercial hotel on the base, according to the Journal.

The Federal Triangle in D.C. and our colleges and universities are chock full of them.

Remember no Chinese citizen can leave China unless they are approved by the Chinese Communist Party.

“The Federal Triangle in D.C. and our colleges and universities are chock full of them.”

As are our research facilities and government contractors.

Chinese Communists.

It seems the new trend is to call Chicoms nationalists.

They’re communists. Chinese Communist Party. CCP. Chicoms.

Why do they avoid calling them by their own name.

The “tourists” ate candy like these items:
https://www.amazon.com/Classic-Pineapple-Guava-Lychee-Dakeyi/dp/B01DFJZ2PK/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=chinese+candy&qid=1693889630&sr=8-5

And when asked about having lunch tried to order Black Fungus, Pork Stomach & Mustard Green, / Pork Intestine w/ black pepper,Wuxi Ribs and Spicy Pig Ear.
