US arrests alleged Chinese agent for surveilling Taiwan leader's family

The FBI arrested Zhang Wanying, a Chinese-American citizen, at LAX on charges of acting as an unregistered agent for China, allegedly surveilling Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te's family. This incident, occurring post-Xi Jinping's US visit, indicates heightened US counterintelligence activity against China's transnational repression networks. The full scope of China's overseas network and the long-term impact on US-China-Taiwan relations remain unclear.
