A woman has been arrested by U.S. authorities and accused of spying on President Lai Ching-te's son Lai Ting-ho and his family in the U.S. on behalf of the Chinese government.

According to Aceli, Chang is accused of being an unregistered Chinese government agent and spying on "a close relative of a Taiwanese government official" in the United States.

According to comprehensive foreign media reports, Zhang Wanying was suspected of going to Seattle, where Lai Ting and his family settled last year, and under the instructions of Chinese officials, took and sent their "photos, videos and license plate information."

In response to this incident, a spokesperson for the U.S. State Department responded to reporters' questions in a background manner today, saying that the United States is committed to safeguarding national sovereignty, ensuring the safety of communities, and protecting individuals within its borders from overreaching foreign governments and regimes that seek to silence or intimidate, harass, harm, or coerce others.

Battelle shouted to foreign hostile forces, "America is not your playground." Under the leadership of U.S. President Donald Trump, the FBI is working hard to hunt down any hidden national security threats and "put them in handcuffs."

Presidential Office spokesperson Kuo Yahui earlier said that this is a typical transnational suppression. Taiwan expresses its strongest condemnation of such barbaric acts that ignore human rights and the sovereignty of various countries, and even harm people who advocate freedom and democracy or their families.
