Back in February, an officer with the New York Police Department was booted from the force after a probe conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation discovered that the man was allegedly wrapped up in activities concerning the Chinese Communist Party, according to a recent report published by the New York Post.
I think, at this point, it should go without saying, but China is probably the biggest global threat to our national security, at least from another country. Add this incident to the one featuring Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell who allegedly had fling with a Chinese spy who, I kid you not, went by the name Fang-Fang, along with the Chinese spy balloon that flew over half the country in 2023 collecting intelligence on military installations and I’d say that makes for a lot of evidence to back up my assertion.

The NYPD terminated Lieutenant Steven Li after 20 years with the department for making false statements and failure to report, according to internal disciplinary records obtained by Documented.
The news outlet discovered that Li helped a Chinese foreign agent, Sun Hoi Ying, connect with a woman living in the United States who was accused in China of embezzling money from a state-owned company. The CCP claimed the woman, referred to only as “Huang,” stole the money to purchase properties in China. The NYPD document noted that the Chinese government seized the woman’s properties in China amid the ongoing dispute.
“It is undisputed that upon his arrival to the United States in December 2019, Sun enlisted the assistance of [Li] in trying to resolve the dispute with [Huang],” the NYPD document said.
According to the document, Li met with the woman on several occasions. He claimed he acted only as an “intermediary” between her and Ying to “help resolve their problems.”
The document then went on to say, “The thought was that since (Li) was a police officer, a position held in high esteem in the Chinese community … the woman would be more amenable to discussing her case with Sun as him as her intermediary.”
The paperwork makes the claim that Ying, Li, and Huang got together at a restaurant back on Dec. 1, 2019. Li then allegedly made the introduction between the two before leaving the room so they could chit-chat about the dispute. It then says Li sent a text to someone using the WeChat app while the other two were talking, saying that Huang seemed “a little emotional.”
“Li claimed that he knew Huang from community events and had not been acting as an agent for the CCP. He was not criminally charged. Following an NYPD investigation, the department found that Li had not pressured Huang and had not acted as a CCP agent. However, Li was found guilty of making false statements and failure to report,” TheBlaze article revealed.

When the news outlet attempted to get a comment from Li regarding the situation, they received no response.
Sun was slapped with charges back in 2022, a list that included a count of conspiring to act as an agent of a foreign government without notifying the Attorney General, according to information from the Justice Department.
Regarding the charges, Assistant Attorney General for National Security Matthew G. Olsen stated at the time, “This case demonstrates, once again, the PRC’s [People’s Republic of China’s] disdain for the rule of law and its efforts to coerce and intimidate those it targets on our shores as part of its Operation Fox Hunt.”
“The defendant allegedly traveled to the United States and enlisted others, including a sworn law enforcement officer, to spy on and blackmail his victims. Such conduct is both criminal and reprehensible,” Olsen continued.
