The 34-year-old Chinese-American female spy Zhang Wanying was suspected of acting as an agent of the Chinese government to monitor President Lai Qingde's son Lai Ting and his family. The day before yesterday, she was arrested by the FBI at Los Angeles International Airport. The news caused an uproar in the public opinion. In this regard, Executive President Toh Wing-tai bluntly stated today (6th) that China's cross-border suppression has become a fact and "we cannot choose to remain silent." He called on Chinese people and groups to be more vigilant when going abroad to jointly defend national sovereignty.

Zhuo Rongtai went to the Legislative Yuan today to continue delivering the policy address and prepare for inquiries. Before the meeting, he accepted joint interviews with the media on current affairs.

The 34-year-old Chinese woman Zhang Wanying (transliteration), who is suspected of following Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te's eldest son in Seattle, is ostensibly an active real estate agent in Southern California. However, after investigation by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), her criminal complaint revealed that she has been absorbed by the Chinese intelligence agency, and then acts as an agent for China to carry out transnational suppression in the United States and maintain an intelligence collection network. It is worth mentioning that Ms. Zhang is not an isolated case, but one of the cases in which Chinese spies have been monitoring and harassing dissidents and democracy activists in the United States in recent years.

In response to the media's question on this matter, Zhuo Rongtai responded that the biggest taboo for China to challenge the international community is to engage in various cross-border repression that endangers human rights. "When cross-border repression has become a reality, we cannot choose to remain silent" or ignore it.

He specifically called on all Chinese people and various groups to pay special attention to their own safety and security. We must continue to be vigilant about actions at home and abroad, in addition to public security and human safety. This is the only way for the government to work with the people to defend national sovereignty and maintain people's security.
