object is to take advantage of the United States as well as its
people. Four of the above people have been charged with visa
fraud. Three people have now been arrested and the FBI is hunting for a

Previously, Senator Marco
Rubio - Acting Chairman of the US Senate Intelligence Committee, affirmed that
the Chinese Consulate General in Houston, Texas, had just been asked to close
as a "screen" for espionage.
"The Chinese Consulate General in Houston is not a diplomatic base. It is a central node in a large network of spies and influence activities in the US."
Rubio wrote on Twitter.
Meanwhile, the New York
Times quoted East Asian Assistant Secretary of State David Stilwell also
affirmed that the Chinese Consulate General in Houston was at the center of the
Chinese military's efforts to advance its dominance.
He pointed
out that Beijing does this by sending students to American universities.
"We have taken a practical step to prevent them from doing that."
Mr. Stilwell said.
