News that Rep. Eric Swalwell interacted with a Chinese intelligence officer is concerning. Christine Fang (also known as Fang Fang) interacted with Swalwell on numerous occasions and was involved in bundling donors for his campaign. This is a wake-up call for the nation.

Because Fang wasn’t just some random Communist Party sympathizer in America. She was an officer of China’s premier Ministry of State Security intelligence service. And while the extent of Fang’s relationship with Swalwell is not clear, Axios reports that she was engaged in a sexual relationship with two unidentified Midwestern mayors. This indicates a pretty apparent so-called “swallow” operation to leverage sex for secrets and influence. America must learn lessons here.
