美國華裔房產經紀涉監視賴清德兒子被捕 控充當中國代理人

美國聯邦調查局(FBI)在洛杉磯國際機場逮捕一名涉嫌為中國政府工作的女子,她被指控曾長期監視台灣總統賴清德之子賴廷與。

據BBC美國合作夥伴哥倫比亞廣播公司(CBS)報導,34歲的張婉瑩(Wanying "Heather" Zhang)週日(10月4日)進入洛杉磯國際機場、預備乘班機飛往中國上海時被拘捕,她被控一項「充當未登記的外國政府代理人」罪。

張婉瑩的丈夫丁艾德(Edric Ding;音譯)亦在同家公司工作,週日,在CBS致電追問案情相關信息時,丁先生表示「我目前什麼都不知道」。

執法行動消息公佈後,台灣總統府週一(5日)批評跟蹤行為「野蠻」,對此表達「嚴厲譴責」。

張婉瑩居住在加州爾灣(Irvine),是一位房地產經紀人。據信屬於她的,經認證的領英(LinkedIn)帳戶顯示,張婉瑩畢業於北京國際關係學院。據BBC中文記者了解,該學院與中國當局聯繫密切,在國家安全、國際問題和外語學科上較為強勢。

本科畢業後,張婉瑩前往南加州大學(University of South California)修讀公共行政碩士項目,畢業後留美從事房地產行業。

社交媒體上流傳的一些宣傳海報提到,張婉瑩在所屬房產中介商裏曾「連續兩年業績名列三甲」,以「南加州的千萬經紀人」自稱。

目前尚不清楚張婉瑩是否有聘請律師。根據美國加州中區聯邦檢察官辦公室第一助理檢察官比爾·埃薩伊利(Bill Essayli)通過X(前稱Twitter)發佈的信息,張婉瑩將於星期一(5日)在洛杉磯聯邦法院首次出庭。

埃薩伊利強調:在法院裁定有罪之前,所有被告均推定為無罪。

台灣:譴責「跨國鎮壓」

洛杉磯逮捕行動發生於台灣進入地方選舉競選活動之際。與此同時,台灣外長林佳龍週一也將到訪阿利桑那州鳳凰城,出席台灣駐鳳凰城辦事處揭牌儀式。

台灣總統府發言人郭雅慧回應美方行動時表示,這是典型的跨國鎮壓,目的在於打壓、威脅。台灣對於這類無視人權與各國主權,甚至是傷害主張自由民主人們或其家人的野蠻行徑,表達嚴厲譴責,這樣的行為在文明世界不應被容忍。

郭雅慧說,台方感謝美國司法單位對於台灣民眾的協助和保護,重提台灣和美國等國別的民主友盟合作。

據CBS報導,FBI探員凱文·霍爾特(Kevin Holt)在3日提交的刑事訴狀中寫:「如果中華人民共和國希望在未來任何潛在衝突中獲取針對台灣總統的籌碼,那麼掌握台灣高級政府官員近親的居住地點和照片,包括其住宅和車輛照片,對中國政府而言可能具有價值。」

埃薩伊利在X上介紹此逮捕行動時展開闡述:「她(張婉瑩)與一名同夥協調此次行動,並採取反監控手法以避免被發現。她從未依規定向美國司法部長申報自己是在代表外國政府行事,而這屬於聯邦犯罪。」

中國當局尚未通過任何形式對此事發表回應。

監視行蹤

CBS報導稱,根據FBI反情報小組成員向聯邦法院提交的刑事訴狀,張婉瑩和她的一位同夥在2025年9月前往華盛頓州西雅圖的這段旅程中,即有在一位台灣高級官員家屬位於郊區的住宅附近進行拍攝。

台灣媒體此前報導,如今30多歲的賴清德兒子賴廷與長期在美國求學、工作,就職於荷蘭跨國企業飛利浦(Philips),與妻育有一子。

這份訴狀附上了鄰居監控錄像截圖,圖片內容顯示張婉瑩二人似在拍攝賴廷與和家人的畫面,並在中國常用通訊軟體微信,向中國政府聯絡人發送信息「看到他了,年輕男性,就是那個年輕的」,之後又表示「我在錄影」,並附上兩張車牌號碼。

FBI表示,這些信息是通過蘋果 iCloud 帳戶取得。

訴狀亦記載,2025年6月,經大學同學介紹,張婉瑩認識了一位中國政府官員,並前往湖南長沙私人包廂接頭。

隨後她向這位官員發出信息:「這件事我可以處理」。8月26日,張婉瑩在微信上發信稱「我這週會忙著洛杉磯的工作,下週大概會去西雅圖」,對方回覆「好的,辛苦你了」。

「長臂執法」嫌疑

過去幾年,中國政府人員已被多國發現派遣多位間諜對中國海外異見者、民主運動人士進行監視、騷擾。

美國司法部此前即警告,中國安全部門推行了名為「獵狐行動」的全球追緝計畫,目標為在全球各地追查、遣返中國通緝人士,包括中國政府認定的政治對手。
