FBI在LAX逮捕尔湾华人经纪人，指控其充当中国未登记代理人
联邦调查局（FBI）10月4日在洛杉矶国际机场（LAX）逮捕了34岁的尔湾房产经纪人 Wanying Zhang（又名 Heather）。她当时正准备登机前往上海。联邦检察官以刑事诉状指控她涉嫌充当未登记的中国政府代理人。
据司法部公布的诉状，Zhang 被指在中方官员指使下，于2025年专程前往西雅图，对台湾地区领导人赖清德之子赖廷宇及其家人住所进行监视拍摄，并回传照片、视频与车牌信息。诉状称，她与一名同伙使用反侦察手段避免被发现，也从未按法律要求向司法部长登记其外国代理人身份。

联邦检察官 Bill Essayli 周日在社交平台公开确认逮捕行动，FBI 局长 Kash Patel 也公开表态。诉状显示，Zhang 与所谓中方官员的微信联系最早可追溯到2022年9月。她的丈夫、同为房产经纪人的 Edric Ding 向 CBS 表示，目前还不了解情况。

本案目前仍处于指控阶段，Zhang 尚未被定罪，依法享有无罪推定。她将于10月5日（周一）在洛杉矶联邦法院首次出庭。其辩护律师信息尚不明确；中国驻华盛顿大使馆与台北经济文化代表处暂未回应置评请求。
这起案件并非孤例：今年3月，加州亚凯迪亚市前市长 Eileen Wang 也就涉嫌为中国从事间谍活动在联邦法院认罪。联邦官员称，将继续打击外国势力在美国本土的秘密行动。（资料来源：路透社、CBS News、Fox News、纽约邮报报道及美国司法部公开诉状）
FBI Arrests Irvine Realtor at LAX as Unregistered Agent of China
The FBI arrested 34-year-old Irvine real estate agent Wanying Zhang, also known as Heather, at Los Angeles International Airport on Oct. 4 as she prepared to board a flight to Shanghai. Federal prosecutors charged her in a criminal complaint with acting as an unregistered agent of the People's Republic of China.
According to the Justice Department complaint, Zhang traveled to Seattle in 2025 at the direction of Chinese officials, surveilled the home of Lai Ting-yu, a son of Taiwan's leader Lai Ching-te, and sent back photos, video, and license plate information. The complaint says she coordinated the trip with an associate, used tradecraft to avoid detection, and never notified the Attorney General that she was acting for a foreign government, as the law requires.

First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli publicly confirmed the arrest on Sunday, and FBI Director Kash Patel also issued a statement. The complaint says Zhang's WeChat exchanges with an alleged Chinese official date back to September 2022. Her husband, Edric Ding, a realtor at the same firm, told CBS News he did not know anything yet.

Zhang has only been charged, not convicted, and is presumed innocent. She is scheduled to make her first appearance in Los Angeles federal court on Monday, Oct. 5. It was not immediately clear whether she has an attorney. The Chinese embassy in Washington and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The case follows a similar one in March, when former Arcadia mayor Eileen Wang pleaded guilty in federal court to spying for China. (Sources: Reuters, CBS News, Fox News, the New York Post, and the U.S. Department of Justice complaint.)
