Axios revealed this week that more than six years ago, Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., began a relationship with a woman suspected of being a Chinese spy named Fong Fong aka Christine Fong. He’s not alone and there are probably thousands more like her.
“I can say with a high level of confidence that there are many more of these women out there,” Daniel Hoffman, a retired CIA Senior Clandestine Services Officer, told Fox News. “China’s MO is to flood the zone.”
One former defense and intelligence operative noted that it could be well into the hundreds – if not thousands. Such spies are assumed to be at top universities, known to speak perfect English, and routinely use social media platforms such as Linkedin and Facebook to connect with their prey.
IT IS ABOUT ENSNARING TALENTED NEWCOMERS
But it is not only about entrapping big names. It is about having an eye for talent. They like to start when one’s star is about to begin rising.
Hoffman asserted that there are likely many more who have zero links to any officials.
“The goal is to become a trusted individual with who (the target) can share information. The spy here would have wanted to learn everything she could about his personality, every little detail of his leadership style to build a profile,” Hoffman said. “The idea here is to latch on to someone like a Swalwell when they are a junior and make contacts. It is much harder to do that when someone is already big and well-known. (This spy) recognized that.”The females employed in this tactic place themselves in a position where they come into contact with the targeted individual. The target is almost always a male, but there have been some instances of females also falling prey to this,” observed Del Wilber, a former U.S. intelligence officer. “The goal is to get the target into a compromising position, usually with photos or video evidence of their indiscretions.”
“Once compromised, they are told to cooperate, or else their actions will be disclosed. And they’ll be divorced, lose their government clearance and their job, etc.,” he asserted.
MI5 WARNED US IN 2010
MI5 warned in 2010 in a 14-page document distributed in 2009 to hundreds of British banks, businesses, and financial institutions. It was titled “The Threat from Chinese Espionage,” and told of a wide-ranging Chinese effort to blackmail Western businesspeople over sexual relationships.
The document, as the London Times reported in January, explicitly warns that Chinese intelligence services are trying to cultivate “long-term relationships.” They have been known to “exploit vulnerabilities such as sexual relationship. They pressurize individuals to co-operate with them.”

The best way of defeating CCP is to pay them back in their own coins ，in other words，to give them a dose of their own medicine ，that is economical superiority plus propaganda hegemony. USA back in the 80s and 90s could’ve easily done this but given that we are basically killing ourselves now， I remain highly doubtful for an American win
A typo in the headline, THERE ARE thousands of CCP honey traps even in Red States!
Isn’t that ironic calling CCP occupied territories Blue States. That had to be intentional or some kind of attempt at humor or projection by the loyal Satan/Marx true believer comrades.
In 2005, I spent several days in Fairfax VA and also visited DC. I found it surprising the number of Chinese who live in the area and admittedly felt uncomfortable about it. I had no reason to believe any were spies for China or, if US citizens, traitors to our country. But through the years I have come to be suspicious of anybody of Chinese descent in our country. Sorry to the millions of you patriotic Americans of Chinese descent, but the proven espionage of China has shaped my attitude. Yes, the communist Chinese government did that so don’t get in a huff. Many patriotic Americans of German descent faced the same during WWI and WWII. The German government did that. And look what Democrat FDR did to Americans of Japanese descent. The Japanese government did that. I do take individual people at face value but I am also not a Pollyanna who believes everybody is good. Most people of all cultures are good but many are not. These days with the dilution of our long held values, imposition of foreign cultures over ours, blatant spying on our government by foreign entities, attacks by certain people within our borders and what we have seen in the election proves we can’t and, yes, I am more suspicious of anybody with a foreign accent but I am also aware of home grown, good old White boys can be traitors to our country as well. Just be aware.
I feel the same on all points.
it’s OK，it’s not our fault，their government is totally responsible for it. I agree with you completely
But according to what I have seen on the Chinese online communities，there are many pro-American Chinese people some of whom are more conservative than even you. Most of them are the generation born in the 80s growing up believing in the American Dream or those who are disappointed with their Marxist government.There are perhaps a million of them and because they are often seen by their government as destabilizing factors， the Chinese government wants to get rid of them as much as we want to get rid of the Far Leftists in America. That’s why I think maybe we can have a population exchange program with China ，and we can send a million or so Marxism lovers here in America to China to experience what they love，and let these Chinese conservatives come to America and have citizenship.I believe both sides will be happy in the end.
Mitch McConnell should be investigated for his “honey trap.”
Can’t disagree with you on that one.
