0:05 Welcome back to another episode of the Careful Boys, where hey guys, in our old stomping grounds, or at least the area of a California mayor is now pleading guilty to being a Chinese agent. >> it. Chinese spy. >> Everyone's like worst nightmare's coming true, dude. Every white person in Arcadia is so bad right now. >> we knew it. But we couldn't be racist. >> And she was working with another person in office in Chino Hills, right? >> There's another Chinese spy. >> two of them. Yeah, there's two. >> Chino Hills? The two biggest Asian communities. >> people in Chino Chinese Chino Hills means Chinese Hills. >> Yeah, Chinese Hills. >> The Chinese in the Hills You know how the accusation or the thing in question is that she was running a news website that was for Chinese-Americans and it

0:55 was at the direction of the whatever People's Republic of China on what she would put out on that site. Is that the only thing she did? >> CK News. >> even know what the story was cuz I thought it was her boyfriend was the spy, right? >> Fiance. >> Both of them. That's the guy. The other >> Oh, got it. >> So he got hun- she got honey potted by a Chinese CCP. >> They make them good, dude. >> I think they're like Chinese Mossad. >> They were both They were both taking orders directly from PRC. >> Oh, they both were? Damn, they got some good agents then, bro. Cuz imagine like our agents, they can't go take local elections in certain like different countries and different cities. Like that's nuts. >> Here, I'll I'll >> That we know of. >> I'll try and give you like the statements and like what what it kind of quote-unquote is and then maybe it's because I'm obviously pro CCP that you know, I look at this like must not be a

1:45 big deal, huh? All right. So Mary Wang admitted to acting as a foreign agent from at least 2020 through 2022 promoting PRC propaganda in the US and acting as PRC's direction to promote their interests, the People's Republic of China for anybody who doesn't know. FBI Director Kash Patel posted on X, "FBI and our federal partners continue to move aggressively to root out this kind of influence in American institutions all over the country." >> Who would take Kash Patel seriously anymore? >> It's tough. I'm not >> Not anymore, but I guess he's doing some work. >> He's a meme, dude. He's like a total meme right now. Every time I see him do something, I'm like, "But how could we >> I I kind of believe like at first I didn't, but I started to believe the conspiracy that Trump put him there so that he could push him around. >> Yeah. >> It seems like it. >> Like Trump's putting incompetent people everywhere just so he can control them. >> Former What's his name? The former FBI director?

2:35 It was Comey, right? Wasn't it Comey? >> I forgot. >> Well, he had beef Trump had beef with him and he kicked him off as soon as he was like in office. >> Yeah, it's like just people that won't oppose you. I don't know. >> It kind of makes sense. >> Feels like it. >> James Comey. >> Yeah. Well, yes. >> Cuz what's his name? >> Drew McCabe was the acting >> Was acting before? Or Or was it the first term was Comey, I think. >> No, Comey was before that. >> So, is this thing that she did with the website? That's the only thing that they could prove so far that she did in by the instruction of PRC? >> Yeah, so a mother two based in Arcadia for about two decades, uh blah blah blah, former fiance of Mike Sun who was sentenced four years in federal prison prison earlier this year for similarly acting as a covert agent for China. >> The whole family's spies. >> Wasn't that guy running for I I remember seeing his name on lawns. I think he was

3:26 running for office. >> She allegedly worked with Sun, her then fiance, to run a website called US News Center that purported to be a new source for Chinese Americans. According to the agreement, the two received and executed directives from Chinese government officials to post and circulate pro-PRC content on the site. Document cites examples like in June 2021 after Chinese government official contacted Wang and other individuals via messaging platform WeChat about a pre-written essay on Xinjiang, which is like a the northern city above like Beijing area. Beautiful women, by the way. Um, she posted on her site and received a thank you from the official. In August, Wang adjusted to Chinese officials' request for edits to the article. Then she sent the official a screenshot of the number of views an article had amassed. Uh, after the official replied, "Great." She allegedly responded, "Thank you, leader." >> Yeah, that that's the great That's funny

4:16 as ████ >> guys hear that one? >> "Thank you, leader." >> That's just respect, dude. >> "Thank you, leader." >> I do I do wonder I I do wonder if it's a a language thing. >> Is it like saying, "Thank you"? >> Yeah, cuz Mandarin's so literal, right? >> Yeah, it could be something >> Or maybe she meant thank you Maybe she meant THANK YOU READER. >> "THANK YOU, READER." >> "Thank you, furious reader." >> "Honorable reader." >> "Furious." >> That's crazy, dude. >> She definitely meant That's a There's a case for that. Imagine making a case for that. >> I think she was saying, "Reader." >> Hey, in Chinese I was saying, "Thank you Thank you, reader, for leading my email." "For leading my email." >> In Chinese culture, do they call people by title and not their name, too? Cuz they do that in Japan. They they just

5:07 they'll be like boss or like they'll they would >> Yeah, for sure. For sure. >> But not by So, president, right? Thank you, Mr. President. You know? Thank you, Mr. Leader. What's the difference? >> Or you say the number A44. >> 45, brother. >> You could You could say like cuz they'll say to bosses of other companies, they'll call them boss. >> Yeah. >> They're not my boss. But is that how they do it in China, too? >> They do do that. I mean, in the culture, that's the same thing as like at home, like calling somebody like a an aunt and an uncle who's clearly clearly not your aunt and uncle. You just call them that. >> going to be Is she going to go to jail? >> It's possible to go up to 10 years for this type of espionage. >> This is Is this espionage, dude? This is not espionage. >> But it has been said like just to clarify that let's say that she decided to make these articles on her own opinion, that part's not illegal. It's that she took direct instruction from an

5:59 opposing government, which you cannot do as a official. >> To talk about how great this >> you did it on your own, if you if you become mayor and you just want to talk about how great China is, that's on you. >> Dude, this is so ridiculous. >> But, you can't take orders from China to do it, yeah. >> The FBI's website says China employs tactics that seek to influence lawmakers and public opinion to achieve policies that are more favorable. It's a ████ long game, dude. They they You know, it's not like a a giant move. It's like ████ chess. It's like a series of a thousand moves over a hundred years. >> But, it's one of those things. The reason I'm asking if that's the only thing is because first of all, I don't believe that's the only thing. Second of all, I think it's one of those things where like let's say you are a Chinese spy, right? And you get caught for this ████ duh, hands up, take me to jail because then it's a case closed on every other thing you probably done. >> Yeah.

6:49 >> And that that's it. Like they if it's like oh, you didn't find anything else and you just found the new site, oh, take me away. It just feels like do you think that's what a Chinese spy that's their biggest aspirations to have a newsletter? >> In this party, these people are stupid. >> particular space, though? >> You know what you could accomplish, though? That's >> But, do you do you think that in this particular setting this this woman who has moved here 30 years ago, has lived in Arcadia for like 20 years, has children and stuff like that, do you think it's like it's like that indoctrinated? Like the idea of being like I'm going full force espionage or is it something potential >> Oh, I think it's money-based on >> Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's like it's like a lot more almost shallow. It's not necessarily like I must destroy America, right? >> I think it's money-based 100%. >> they could have been sent here, too. >> I think they're also just buying up all the properties. >> But, she was born here? >> No, she was born over there. >> She she migrated like 30 years ago.

7:40 >> Oh, okay. >> But, some of these Chinese spies jobs are like harmless. Like it's like when the president of the Chinese club at East LA College got caught, they were just reporting culture. >> Yeah. >> So some of them are just intel spies of like they report to their handlers and they go this week the Mexicans got into a fight with the blacks and then I saw some tagging on the graffiti the bathroom. Well like they're just explaining American culture. >> though cuz that's like that's some real long conch. >> But that's the thing. But that's what I That's the thing I still don't believe. I think if you I think you you should take the fall for the easier crime. I think if it's like all I did was report culture you got me. >> I think yeah. >> That's That's going to be in the books then. Like all you do is report culture but then >> that they have more stuff. >> You think like China as smart and advanced as they are are going to plant somebody for that many years and when

8:31 she goes what's my next move leader? >> Start a newsletter. >> Come on. Really? >> Make sure your quick food is over 2%. Start a WordPress. Don't open your email. >> Family ████ Remember? The attempted suicide on the dude's brother uncle or brother or whatever and it's like that girl was >> Attempted suicide? >> No. The actual kill. >> Oh. The one where they tricked her into doing a thing. Yeah. >> And she genuinely did not know that she was participating in something so evil over a year and a half of being like >> But that's how they get down. >> So that's what I'm saying. I'm I'm not saying every but every country is capable. >> But every country is also capable of saying hey when you get caught act like you genuinely didn't know. >> Yeah. >> Like that's even easier. >> That's money. >> But also >> No. I think it's easier to make it them them genuinely not know. >> I think it's a pretty You think that's easier? >> I think nowadays it is.

9:21 >> Really? But you don't think it's a big task though to control the narrative? Cuz like Ghislaine Maxwell's father was hella three agent spies and he owned like a publication. So if you control the Chinese like American voter and then you can get them to like have a certain point of view and being more pro-China, then that's actually good for their government cuz they'll vote >> pro-China is not necessarily pro-China. Pro-China could be like no America. You know what I mean? It's just like ████ up ████ in the country. >> Yeah. >> Right? Versus like making another one better. It's like ████ this one up. >> Maybe they'll vote yes cuz like the Chinese government want a data center there or I don't know. Like there might be different rules. >> Or just the data center would be huge. >> Or it could be as simple as like, "Hey, we know that this is the largest Chinese diaspora in the entire nation,

10:12 California, which also has the highest populace in the in the entire nation. We need more Chinese people to move there. So, we need to make sure that there it's Chinese friendly. Like make sure the the political official Chinese. Make sure that there's newsletter so that people have It's not as like, "Oh, do or do this cuz we're collecting this intel to do It might be as as basic as like, "Hey, if we get more people in the most populated city and control more of the economy and have more voting power, that's enough." >> But I feel like Arcadia's got too much money that like we have American politicians that are already siphoning money from America, keeping it in America. Why wouldn't Chinese people with all the ████ knowledge they have of how to move money illegally, why wouldn't they be like siphoning money out of the country? >> the thing about That's the thing about >> for themselves. >> The thing about Arcadia is that you know, I have a lot of clients that live

11:02 there. I've had to go work in Arcadia all the time. There's a lot of houses that are just empty. >> Yeah. >> And a lot of buyers from China are going in and scooping them all up cash. And this is from like realtors that I used to train. They'll tell you like this is very common. And where you know where else they're doing that? In Altadena. They're all over. There's all these like random Chinese like conglomerates just buying up all these these properties. And it's like, yeah, that's that sounds like a good play for them to like park their money over here, have footing, especially if you said like in the strongest Chinese diaspora, cuz Arcadia is that. It's It's all Chinese people. >> Yeah. It just looks still to me that just feels like it's playing too clean. I feel like when you find those things, you're like, "Aha, I see what you guys are doing in your big plan." But I just don't think people that usurp political positions play that clean. You know, like when money goes missing in ████

11:53 it's obviously like somebody did some weird ████ while they were in power. So, I think like later if they find something wrong with the finances that Arcadia, that's who you got to ████ check, obviously, cuz like even without the motivation to ████ the country over, our politicians will still steal money. You know what I mean? Even if you have like let's say your allegiance isn't even to America, you'll probably steal it faster than those guys, right? >> What if her task is to stay in government as long as possible? She doesn't want to jeopardize it. >> That's what I thought. Yeah, that's what it sounds like to me. >> But like I The way that China does work though is like they already have agents to do the dirty stuff. So, they need agents to do the clean stuff, and then they they attack it from both sides. >> I think because you know they do they practice soft power. So, like you know how the West does hard power, where they

12:44 do it through violence, colonialism, that kind of style? >> Oh, yeah. The difference is we're all like, "Dude, they're all conglomerates are coming and buying up our real estate for cash." Meanwhile, we're just dropping ████ military >> That's true. >> But then Chinese style is more like I'll bid you I'll build your guys a hospital for cheap, and then now you owe me. And then so they slowly get into Africa, they slowly get into all like South America, and then they're using like I think they're using a different tactic from what we do. But I think they still have the the drug dealers, the the the the like they have the assassins, they have all that stuff. >> The human traffickers uh cartels working really closely with Chinese organized crime. >> Cuz I think on their it makes it makes a lot easier. I think it's better for their overall purpose if they come in slow anyway, right? >> Yeah, and if you think about it, it's not just LA, like it's every area that

13:36 has a strong Chinese population. Like so all over the world they're playing this game cuz I saw this one interview of a Australian Chinese and he was talking about how he wanted um what do you call it? Like it's not refugee status or amnesty. Maybe it is amnesty. Asylum like where he was like I give myself up. I was a Chinese spy, but I didn't know I was a Chinese spy. So he goes through the whole process of how he got recruited and he thought he was just working for a regular company. Until they indoctrinate him. >> I don't think it's so clearly like I'm doing this as some sort of good and evil or like bad here, good for You know what I mean? I think it's so much more like >> Like religious almost. >> Scientology. Like the way he explained it is in China, there'll be all these recruiting agencies and he's like, "Yeah, I want to work abroad." And then

14:27 like he's like, "Okay, so you're going to work here." And then he's like, "You're just working a normal job." And it just feels like any other like they send you to Australia and then and then once in a while they'll be like, "Oh, you got to talk to your manager." And then the manager would ask you stuff, but the manager was actually like CCP spy. And you're he's your, you know, handler. And then like you go deeper and deeper into it and they open more for you. And then before he knew it he was like, "Oh, wait a minute." He's like, "I'm not really working. Like I'm spying." Yeah. >> Oh yeah, as a disclaimer if you're here from Next Shark, we're talking about organized espionage Chinese people, not regular Chinese citizens. I can't believe that has to be said so many times, but every time something comes up, people think they have to defend Chinese guys. >> I bet they're bots. >> Yeah. No, you always have to defend

15:18 Chinese. >> We all know not all Chinese people are spies. >> Bots. >> Like when they try to say in Florida that that people that are residents of China can't own land there, that's not racist against Chinese people. >> stupid. >> That's against That's against superpowers. >> That's against >> Chinese citizens. It's It's your country's best interest. >> Americans. >> Yeah. This is coming from a Japanese guy, just saying. >> I know. >> You almost had it all, huh? No, that's true. That is pretty crazy to think about it that way. But also, would you put the risk down if like let's say a Chinese spy showed up in your country and was like, "Hey, I just found out I was a spy. ████ I don't want to be a spy anymore, so let me in, okay?" Like would you still run that risk? >> have a Chinese spy than a Jewish one. >> Well, you're got a little problem there cuz uh

16:08 Guess who looks more like Americans.
