FBI 在洛杉矶机场逮捕加州女子 Wanying Zhang，指其受中国官员指使监视赖清德之子；台湾总统府称系“典型跨境镇压案例”FBI arrests California woman Wanying Zhang at LAX, accusing her of spying for China on Taiwan president's son; Taipei calls it "a typical case of transnational repression"
美国联邦调查局10月4日在洛杉矶国际机场逮捕34岁的加州尔湾居民 Wanying Zhang（英文名 Heather），指控她充当未注册的外国政府代理人，受中国官员指使监视台湾总统赖清德的一名儿子及其家人。台湾总统府称这是“典型的跨境镇压案例”。案件目前处于指控阶段，罪名是否成立有待司法程序认定。On October 4, the FBI arrested Wanying Zhang, 34, of Irvine, California, at Los Angeles International Airport, charging her with acting as an unregistered agent of a foreign government and accusing her of surveilling a son of Taiwan President Lai Ching-te and his family at the direction of Chinese officials. Taiwan's presidential office called it "a typical case of transnational repression." The case is at the charging stage; guilt has not been adjudicated.
为什么重要WHY IT MATTERS
跨境镇压是将境内的压制手段延伸到境外。外国政府若指使人员在美国境内监视台湾民选总统的家人，涉及人身安全、隐私与主权；台湾总统府已将此案定性为跨境镇压的典型案例。本案后续司法程序将检验美方“外国代理人”指控的证据是否成立。Transnational repression extends domestic suppression beyond borders. If a foreign government directed surveillance of the family of Taiwan's elected president on US soil, it implicates personal safety, privacy, and sovereignty; Taiwan's presidential office has already labeled the case a textbook example of transnational repression. The coming court proceedings will test whether the US "foreign agent" charge is supported by evidence.
详细记录Full report
2026年10月4日（周日），美国联邦调查局在洛杉矶国际机场逮捕34岁的加州尔湾居民 Wanying Zhang（英文名 Heather），当时她正准备登机前往中国。美国司法部指控她充当未注册的外国政府代理人。FBI 称，张于2025年在中国官员的指使下前往西雅图，对台湾总统赖清德的一名儿子及其家人实施监视，并向中方传送照片、视频和车牌信息。加州中区联邦检察官第一助理 Bill Essayli 称，张使用了反侦查手段，始终未向美国政府申报自己受外国政府指使活动。[1][2]
FBI 未在正式声明中直接点名监视目标，但随后分享了一篇《纽约邮报》的报道，指目标为旅居美国的赖廷与（Lai Ting-yu）。台湾总统府证实，被监视的是赖清德总统的亲属，但未具体说明是哪一位。总统府发言人 Karen Kuo 称，这是“典型的跨境镇压案例”，并对“这种漠视人权与国家主权的野蛮行径”表示最强烈的谴责，同时感谢美国政府保护台湾公民。[1][2]
中国外交部表示“不了解”有关情况，并称中方一贯反对炒作所谓“中国间谍”来抹黑中国。美联社报道称，张的国籍尚不明确，截至发稿未能确定其辩护律师。张原定于10月6日（周一）在洛杉矶联邦法院出庭。[1][2]
核实说明：本案目前为检方指控阶段，“充当未注册外国代理人”等罪名是否成立，有待法庭审判认定；监视目标的具体身份（赖廷与）来自 FBI 转发的媒体报道，而非 FBI 的直接确认。因此本站将本记录标为“持续核实”，将继续跟进10月6日出庭及后续司法程序。本站不把未经法庭认定的指控写成已证实事实。[1][2]
On Sunday, October 4, 2026, the FBI arrested Wanying Zhang, 34, also known as "Heather," of Irvine, California, at Los Angeles International Airport as she was about to board a flight to China. The US Justice Department charged her with acting as an unregistered agent of a foreign government. According to the FBI, Zhang traveled to Seattle in 2025 at the direction of Chinese officials and surveilled a son of Taiwan President Lai Ching-te and his family, sending photos, videos, and license plate information to those officials. Bill Essayli, First Assistant US Attorney for the Central District of California, said Zhang used tradecraft to avoid detection and never notified Washington that she was acting for a foreign government. [1][2]
The FBI did not directly name the surveillance target in its formal statement but later shared a New York Post report identifying him as Lai Ting-yu, a US resident. Taiwan's presidential office confirmed that the targets were relatives of President Lai Ching-te, without specifying which one. Presidential Office spokesperson Karen Kuo described the case as "a typical case of transnational repression," expressed the "strongest condemnation of such barbaric conduct that disregards human rights and the sovereignty of nations," and thanked the US government for protecting Taiwanese citizens. [1][2]
China's foreign ministry said it was "not familiar" with the situation and that it had "consistently opposed the sensationalisation of so-called 'Chinese spies' to slander and smear China." The Associated Press reported that Zhang's nationality was not clear and that no attorney for her could be determined as of publication. She was due to appear in federal court in Los Angeles on Monday, October 6. [1][2]
Verification note: The case is at the charging stage; whether the "unregistered foreign agent" charge holds must be determined through court proceedings, and the target's specific identity (Lai Ting-yu) comes from a media report shared by the FBI rather than a direct FBI confirmation. This record is therefore marked "developing / checking" and will be updated as the October 6 hearing and subsequent proceedings unfold. Unadjudicated allegations are not presented here as established facts. [1][2]
