A California real estate agent has been arrested at Los Angeles International Airport while allegedly preparing to fly to China after being accused of conducting surveillance on the son of Taiwan's president.
Wanying 'Heather' Zhang, 34, of Irvine, was arrested on 4 October as she prepared to board a flight to Shanghai. A federal criminal complaint accuses Zhang of acting as an unregistered agent of the Chinese government and conducting surveillance on the family of a senior Taiwanese official. Law enforcement sources identified the alleged target to CBS News as Ting-Yu Lai, the US-based son of Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te.
