Charges alleging Chinese students worked as spies highlight US vulnerabilities to CCP espionage

The charges add fuel to the debate over China-connected entities building or owning land close to sensitive military sites.

One late summer night last year the National Guard discovered five Chinese students near a lake after midnight. The students claimed they were part of the “media” and promptly left the area. 

What the guardsmen who discovered them didn’t know then is that the Chinese nationals had planned the trip 200 miles from where they studied at the University of Michigan to take photos of military vehicles at Camp Grayling.
