FBI arrests California woman accused of spying for China on Taiwan president's son

The FBI arrested a California woman on Sunday before she could fly to China. Wanying Zhang, 34, from Irvine, worked as a realtor. Authorities say she was secretly working for Chinese officials. She is charged with acting as a foreign agent without registering with the US government. Zhang allegedly watched and photographed Lai Ting-yu, the son of Taiwan's president, who lives in the United States. She sent photos and videos of him and his family to Chinese officials. She also used special methods to avoid being caught. Zhang was due to appear in a Los Angeles federal court on Monday. Taiwan's government called the case "transnational repression" and thanked the United States for its action.
